When I went to pick up a natural diamond for my girlfriend, I just put the shifter into neutral and let the car coast into the parking space.

n00b.

LOL.........nvm. I wasn't thinking :p

Aren't you supposed to press the button in? Either way. I don't drive automatics very often.

Mine will go from R to N to R or D to N to D but not R to N to D or vise versa or R to P/P to R without pressing the button. :confused: Just noticed that last night.

Is the button the brake? Brake has to be pressed in sometimes for mine. Depends on how fast I'm goin and how hard I pull....:p

same exact thing with my car. im pretty sure its designed that way. so that when you go from D into N, you dont accidentally overshoot into R. wouldnt be pretty in some cases.
