Component Identification:

Location
The park pawl gear and park pawl mechanism are located in the rear part of the transmission housing.

Task
In addition to the parking brake, they secure the vehicle mechanically to prevent it from rolling away.

Component Identification:

Function
In gear selector switch position "P" the cone slides between the park detent and the pilot bushing. As a result the park detent is pressed against the park pawl gear. When the vehicle is stationary the tooth of the park detent does not engage in a tooth space but with a tooth of the park pawl gear, then the cone is preloaded by the spring and is on standby. If the park pawl gear continues to turn, the park detent engages in the next tooth gap.

To prevent damage due to misuse, the intervals between the tooth gaps are such that the park detent can only engage when the vehicle is stationary or crawling at low speed. If the vehicle rolls faster, the shape of the teeth prevents the parking lock pawl from engaging.
