Re: IML: AT at stop: N or P, not D ?

If I recall correctly (and, it's been a long time), when either in Park or Neutral, both the clutches and bands are released.  The only difference is that if the car has a "Park" position, there is a parking pawl engaged.  There would be no difference in the number of parts that are moving.

The emergency brake on Torqueflite and Powerflite equipped cars operates on the driveshaft, not on the rear wheels on every one I've seen.
