gear is 挡/擋, this is also why this was submitted as dang3

档 is a common typo, but P挡/N挡 still get way more G hits

Editor: Hello, "Anonymous", nice to meet you again! You're someone who's so sure he's right that he doesn't bother to check his assertions ... I think I know who you are ;-)

If "档 is a common typo", then why does 白度百科 have articles titled P档 and N档, and why does MoE define 檔 as
汽車變速器的俗稱。如:「排檔」、「換檔」。?

"this is also why this was submitted as dang3"?
I don't think so. The submitter wrote "hear it on tw tv" (referring to P檔), and 檔 is pronounced [dang3] in Taiwan.

"P挡/N挡 still get way more G hits"?
Well, not if you actually check the figures.

Google verbatim search results:
"P档" 545,000
"P挡" 278,000

Baidu:
"P档" 4,660,000个
"P挡" 1,000,000个
Diff:
# - P檔 P档 [P dang4] /park (gear)/program mode (on digital camera)/
# + ! P擋 P挡 [P dang3] /park (gear)/program mode (on digital camera)/
# - N檔 N档 [N dang4] /neutral (gear)/
# + ! N擋 N挡 [N dang3] /neutral (gear)/
