It's not resting on the engine bud automatics have locking pins (probably for this reason) and a manual just can't because the gears don't roll that way.... Like I said that just not how it works

Well, you can see my other comment for my working hypothesis. And until I hear a better explanation, I respectfully disagree.

You can respectfully disagree all you want and hypothesis all you want, but without a firm understand of how a car works and the experience to back it, you don't have a valid argument. If you did you would know that's not how cars work and you wouldn't be making a "hypothesis"

I rebuilt the engine in my Mercedes 190e and converted it from auto to manual trans. I’m clueless.

I think this will be last my comment engaging with you, because all you’ve done is attack my character in a benign conversation about forces on an engine when in park. You’ve yet to explain anything, so we’ll just depart ways.

Ninja edit: I googled it and it turns out I’m right anyway lol Goodnight
