Loud Bang Noise when shifting from Neutral to Drive

It's the primary braking system of a vehicle.

Cars don't have an emergency braking system. The parking brake can be used for stopping, I suppose, in the highly unlikely event if the service brake should fail, but it's designed use is for securing the vehicle when parked.

 

If you have no brakes then it's an emergency brake but have a good grip on the wheel and be ready for a sudden impact.

 

OP I don't have any poems for you, but if it persists, I'd get it a look over. I shift from neutral to drive and back in the company truck and its smooth as silk in all speeds (even highway). Can't speak for the taco though since I'm blessed with a 6spd.

 

Haters gon' hate.

 

Stop before u shift.

 

It's real easy. Down hill or up hill. When parking, stay in gear, apply parking or emergency or e-Break or whatever word that one guy won't get mad at, release your foot so the truck moves until the brake engages, and then finally put it in park. That way the truck didn't put any load on the gears at all. My dodge ram sounded like a cannon when I parked on my slightly inclined driveway.

 

I'll give that a try next time..
How do we know when the brake engages?

 

It is a cable-operated system that locks the rear brakes.

 

Last I checked, cable operated is mechanical

 

Kind of like engage the e-brake, release your foot. The truck will rock whichever way. Then put it in park.

 

That's right.

It's not electronic, it's mechanical.
