ShawnW Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Thats pretty normal to be able to push the car in gear like that in an Automatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWet Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 Automatic transmissions only prevent the car from moving when they are in the "P" (Park) position. This position has a special locking mechanism, similar to pressing a bar of metal into the teeth of a special gear. All other positions leave the transmission unlocked, with only internal resistance to overcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
