2008 chevy impala gear shift
Asked by ThyShadowZ Mar 29, 2018 at 03:20 AM about the 2008 Chevrolet Impala 1LT FWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
When i park my car on my steep driveway i always use the parking brake. Well,
after i release it, you have to pull the gear shift moderately harder for it to get
into reverse, then after that, all the gears shift very smoothly with no
problem.When i do not use my parking brake and put it in reverse it shifts
normally. Anything i should be worried about?

It could be because when its on the slant the transmission fluid is not going into the transmission constantly and when you shift its rubbing.
There is nothing to worry about though

put it in gear before you release the brake , on a hill the parking pin is " pinched"
Had a friend who used to release the brake first and the parking pin broke. Do as you are told above.
