James Elsmore does the same thing. I would suggest it as well just because
you don't need to put extra wear on your tranny (expensive)!

Lots of people have a clunk that comes from the rear end when shifting into
reverse. It's considered normal. picked up from the DOC on how to prevent
it. When parking, don't slam it into P and be done with it. Get into the
space, put the rtanny in N, engage the parking brake, let off the regular
brake, then put the tranny in P after it rocks. I've been doing this and
it DOES make a difference.
