Thank you
That's the problem then, when you select park on a hill it puts a strain on the gearbox and a massive strain on the parking pawl, if enough exertion is applied to the pawl they have been known to break and an expensive repair bill.

The correct procedure for parking on an incline is to bring the vehicle to a halt, with your foot on the foot brake select neutral, apply parking brake, remove your foot from foot brake and allow the parking brake to take the strain and only then select P on the gear lever.
