I made the mistake of testing a wheel for scraping parts when I didn't have working brakes once. It was a very unpleasant clank into P. If I had to do again I would shift to N first it should stop within a few seconds and then quicky go from N to P.

I may try that with brakes and wheels on next time I have one of the AWD cars all wheels airborne.

I shift cars all the time from D to R or opposite when moving slowly. I'm not sure how fast the wheels will spin.

Actually: I think for the gears to really mesh you need the output shaft to be moving, prob good for the drive shaft to be off as long as you can use N to stop it. Would love to see some feedback from an expert.
