1994 CADILLAC ELDORADO lock

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Torque Lock
If you are parking on a hill and you don’t shift your transaxle into “P”
(Park) properly, the weight
of the vehicle may put too much force on the
parking pawl in the transaxle. You may find it difficult to pull the shift
lever out of “P” (Park). This is called “torque lock.”
To prevent torque
lock, set the parking brake and then shift into
“P” (Park) properly before
you leave the driver’s seat.
To find out how, see “Shifting Into ‘P’ (Park)”
in the Index.
If ‘?.orque lock” does occur, you may need to have another vehicle push
yours
a little uphill to take some of the pressure from the transaxle, so
you can pull the shift lever out of “P” (Park).
