Parking brake on G 35 coupe
I had to pull the parking brake on my 6MT while waiting on a traffic light on a steep hill and the brake felt very unstable,felt like I am going to roll back down (La Cienega and Sunset).
I was wondering if any of you have noticed any problems with the parking brake or have done adjustments to it.
I have 2300 miles on the car.

Re: Parking brake on G 35 coupe
yuck man i hate that intersection at la cienega and sunset. The first night I got my car I was driving up to sunset and made the mistake of taking La Cienega... I thought I was going to die. ANyways,
You really need to pull up hard on the e brake for it to hold. Otherwise your car will roll back. I've had the same problem, as I'm sure most of the other MT drivers have.

Re: Parking brake on G 35 coupe
When I first got my G my parking brake was loose. I think it says that it is supposed to click a certain amout of times. I would have to pull it up really hard for it to hold so I took it to the dealer and they confirmed it was loose.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small"><EM>Edited by banzaikid1 on 07/04/04 10:28 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

Re: Parking brake on G 35 coupe
this brings me to a question that I've been wondering for a while. My friends were telling me that the e-brake would get loose everytime you pull hard on it (which im noticing now-a-days, the e-brake isn't as tight as I first got my car), which is true...I THINK. But anyway, when or HOW do u know that it's time to get it tightened again? Or is there no way to fix that...

Re: Parking brake on G 35 coupe
I also have been experiencing the same e-brake woes! My driveway has a slight slope and I can tell it is becoming harder and harder to get the car to stay put.
The question I have is how to get the e-brake to release once you pull it up as high as you can? I have no problem putting the e-brake on, its just hard trying to disengage it once I get it up as high as I can. Any tricks or is it just a matter of pure force???
