Parking Brake Sucks?

To avoid putting strain on the transmission this is what i do; come to a stop, pull handbrake up enough to hold car firmly whilst keeping foot on the brake, release brake, car should be rock solid, than put brake back on and put into gear and release brake and switch engine off. This way tranny is not stressed, car is firmly held in place by handbrake and if need be the tranny can act as an emergency position holder. Doing it this way particularly for auto transmissions places no strain on them and can be smoothly and easily put from park to drive with no clunky or bangy noises.
