Parking during the night on an incline.


What is the correct way of parking on an incline? With handbrake on and gear in neutral or With both gear and handbrake engaged?

If there is an option of parking with car pointing up the incline or pointing down the slope, which is better? (I mean not for a short duration - may be while parking for the night.)

I have a very very slight difficulty in engaging gears now on my 1.1 stile. The difficulty comes randomly to all gears except the first and reverse gears. It feels as if the gear lever is hindered by something before falling into the slot. As I said, this does not happen every time I shift gears, but occurs randomly in 2nd, 3rd 4th and 5th gears. There is no pattern.

I have been parking during the nights on an incline for the last one month with both the gear and handbrake engaged. Could this have caused the problem?

I think, If you are parking in upward inclination, you can keep the car in first gear and if your car is in downward slope then you can keep it in reverse gear. I think hand break is not required. AFAIK we should avoid using hand break for longer durations.

Where as I do not know what could be the reason for your gear problem.
