Subject: 1971 VW Auto Trans

Question
are they a way to park this VW so I can leave it in gear? I don't trust the parking brake. 3 speed auto trans

Answer
Hi Randy,

The "Park" feature for the automatic stick shift was not introduced until mid-1974.  So, you are going to have to rely on a very good emergency brake.

Drop me a line if you need any sources that carry emergency brake parts.

Take Care,

Ron
