Is engine braking bad for your transmission?

Can parking brake affect transmission?
Like any other part of your car, the pawl can break or malfunction for any number of reasons. While it may seem like putting the car in “Park” is enough, constant use of the parking pawl can wear out both the pawl and your transmission (especially if you frequently park on steep inclines).
Why are front brake pads different from back brake pads?
Brake pads on the front of your car will wear differently than the brake pads on the back. The reason is that your front brake pads actually do most of the work, with up to 70 percent of all braking action occurring in the front of your car.
Can a worn out brake pad be replaced at the same time?
But if you’ve ever looked at your brake pads, it is possible to have one side wear out faster than the other. If a brake caliper is defective, for example, it might cause the brake pad to wear quickly and need replacing long before the brake pad on the other side of the car. Why can’t you just replace the worn out brake pad?

Why does my car Rev when I slow down?
As a result, it allows the driver to modulate the brakes smoothly as you slow down. Therefore, if the brake booster or master cylinder is damaged or worn out, the braking system will fail to function. This leads to the car engine revving when braking.
