Description
This Pin is part of the Park Pawl componentry of an automatic transmission that locks the transmissions’ output shaft, preventing the vehicle from moving when the transmission is in the “Park” position. This is a small pin that engages with a notched wheel or gear inside the transmission to prevent it from turning. The Park Pawl also prevents the engine from starting if the transmission is not in “Park” or “Neutral” position, which acts as a safety feature to prevent accidental or unintended vehicle movement when starting the engine.
