Torque Lock (Automatic Transmission)
If
you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your
transmission
into PARK (P) properly, the weight of the
vehicle may put too much force
on
the parking pawl in
the transmission. You may find it difficult to pull
the
shift
lever out of PARK
(P).
This is called “torque lock.”
To
prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then
shift into PARK (P) properly before you leave the
driver’s seat.
To
find out how, see “Shifting Into
PARK
(P)”
in the Index.
When you are ready to drive, move the shift lever out of
PARK
(P)
before
you release the parking brake.
If “torque lock” does occur, you may need to have
another vehicle push yours a little uphill to take some
(
the pressure from the transmission,
so
you can pull the
shift lever out of PARK (P).
Shifting
Out
of PARK (P)
(Automatic Transmission)
Your Corvette has a brake-transmission shift interlock.
You have to fully apply your regular brake before you
can shift from PARK
(P)
when the ignition
is
in the
RUN position. See “Automatic Transmission” in the
Index.
If you cannot shift out of PARK
(P),
ease pressure on
the shift lever
--
push the shift lever all the
way
into
PARK
(P)
and release the shift lever button as you
maintain brake application. Then press the shift lever
button and move the shift lever into the gear you wish.
