Ako iiwan ko lang sa drive if stop and go ang traffic or slow moving then brake pag kelangan. Pag may timer naman kasi yung traffic light and matagal pa ang green, iniiwan ko talaga sa neutral then handbrake. Nakakapagod din kasi sa paa if iiwan sa drive then foot brake pa eh may pressure din pala sa tranny yun hehe.

My mechanic who is a former Service Advisor of Mitsu advised me to put it in d and apak lang sa brake....minsan sinusunod ko pero madalas hindi[emoji23].

His reason, mas pipiliin na lang daw niya na brake pads/ rotor disc ang masira kesa sa transmission.

Shifting from neutral to drive then vice versa i believe wouldn't break the tranny naman. Mas maniniwala ako if from park galing tas pupunta sa drive or vice versa while in traffic kasi dadaan pa yan through reverse and neutral eh. Baka yun ang tinutukoy niya kaya yan ang kanyang statement kasi that habit will definitely stress the tranny more than usual.

Engage the P (Park) if you will really park the car and will soon switch off the engine.

Remember to activate the Park/Hand break before shifting to P (Park).

I didn't know this. Una ako lagi set sa Park position ang gear then handbrake. If you come to think of it, mukha Mas maaalagaan ang tranny if you engage the handbrake first noh. Hmmmm. Gurus, may significant effect bato palagay nyo?

i handbrake first, before i P.
the P position is not designed to carry heavier loads. with sufficient pressure, it can break.
the handbrake is designed to handle pressure. in many cars, when challenged, it will usually slip, but not break.

Neutral then handbrake. May extra pang wear sa preno ung nasa Drive habang nakatigil sa traffic.

Dami pa din nakikita ko sa harapan ko when they're about to go from traffic stop, iilaw yung reverse light meaning galing sila sa P gear. Though personally, nasanay nako D and brake lang.

have you noticed, if your front brake pads need more frequent replacing?
i ask, because i know not.

[Teaspoon]

Ako usually nasa D lang and tapak ng brakes. Pag medyo nangangawit na at alam ko matagal pa mag-go, shift sa N then handbrake. Never ko nilagay sa P kapag traffic lang.

i reserve my P for my office parking slot or home garage.
any other time, i handbrake on N.
i avoid braking long on D. nakakapagod. at baka ma-release nang hindi sinasadya, kapag nagpatawa si ted faylon.

One of Sir Isaac Newton's laws is that of momentum.

In a car's attempt to stop, the force is transferred or concentrated to the front tires. At an average of 70% of the moments (velocity X mass) goes to the front tires.
In the case of a loaded dumptruck, the weight is concentrated at the back. Maybe the reason why some Peterbilt dumptrucks don't have front brakes.
In any car, the front brakes are beefier than the rear brakes.

i replace my front pads more often than my rear shoes, by a factor of 2 to 1 or more.

How long does your pads last? The front pads on my Fiesta Ecoboost needs replacement every 18k kilometres.

This answers my question why the front wheels have bigger brakes or rotors or whatever it is called.

If I may stray from the topic, how can you check if you need to replace the drum brakes? The one with the caliper, you can hear a squealing sound and that is the indication that you need the pads.

Tell tale signs you need drum brakes service include:
A. Brake chatter at the rear( brake dust trapped between the shoes and the drums)
B. Evidence of wetness on the backing plates from leaking wheel cylinders
C. Brake pedal travel is increased( self adjusters are frozen)
D. If you hear grinding when brakes are applied.
E. When you see the brake friction material equal to or thinner than the brake shoes web ( you don't need to remove the drums for this) when viewed from the inspection holes.
F. If the temperature of the brake drums are uneven after about five miles of driving( use a non contact infra red thermometer)

Same here or sometimes I use the brake hold feature especially when I'm stuck in a traffic or in an uphill.

Neutral and handbrake for the car that still has a physical handbrake.
D and parking brake for the other car that has an electronic parking brake. The parking brake automatically disengages when the throttle is pressed.
