You should engage the handbrake first before shifting to P gear. Here are the specific reasons: 1. The entire braking work is undertaken by the braking system. 2. The P gear only serves as an auxiliary braking function, with all internal moving parts in a completely relaxed state. 3. When starting the vehicle next time, shifting the gear lever out of P gear will feel very smooth and effortless. 4. The P gear, as a parking gear, has a certain parking braking force. Its locking mechanism consists of a parking lock with locking teeth and a parking lock gear with gears. Here is some extended information: 1. The P gear, commonly known as the parking gear, locks the transmission shaft when parked, achieving an auxiliary braking effect. 2. The P gear in an automatic transmission uses a claw mechanism to lock the transmission output shaft.

Why does the Buick Excelle manual transmission shake severely when starting?

The reasons for severe shaking when starting the Buick Excelle manual transmission are as follows: 1. Excessive carbon deposits: The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits on the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon buildup inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector is largely absorbed by the carbon deposits, resulting in an overly lean air-fuel mixture during cold starts and making it difficult to start. 2. Aging components: Car shaking is also related to aging engine mounts. Engine mounts are essentially the shock absorption system of the engine, responsible for absorbing minor vibrations during operation. If the engine mounts are faulty, these vibrations can be transmitted to the steering wheel and the cabin, causing shaking during idle.
