[QUOTE="James, post: 94946, member: 2"] Exactly, however if you were to start the engine you could drive off in 1st, but not 5th. The reason that it works better to "park" in 1st is because your ratio is now in reverse. Using the same gear ratios as above, 5th gear would rotate the engine 4 times per every tire rotation, if you were to push the truck. And 1st gear would rotate the engine 12 times per every tire rotation, hence the reason to put it in 1st gear. [/QUOTE]
