Park Mechanism

The park mechanism locks the transmission by engaging the park pawl with the park gear which is integral with the secondary drive gear. The secondary drive gear engages with the secondary driven gear which is integral with the final drive gear and the final drive gear engages the final driven gear.

Shifting to position causes the park cone (installed at the end of the park rod) to press the park pawl onto the park gear. Even if the end of the park pawl rides on the top of the park gear teeth, slight movement of the vehicle will cause the park pawl and park gear to mesh with each other completely because the park cone receives the tension from the park rod spring. The park pawl receives the tension (which acts to separate the park pawl from the park gear) from the park pawl spring.
