Correct me if im wrong but using the ebrake even if not parked on a hill keeps it tightened correct? Back when I had my Tundra you had to use it very often to keep the ebrake very tight. Everywhere I park with the Z I always use the ebrake no matter what and 47k miles later its still grabs strong.

 

Oh yes, the ebrake...

 

Might want to start carrying a brick around and a via option to e-brake. I always use my e-brake and put it in gear. I don't have any problems of the cable loosening up. I do however do not use it on my other DD automatic. Probably should before anything bad happens.

 

A friend of mine left the e brake off on his DD Prelude the other night and it rolled across the street and backed into a tree. Smashed the rear bumper and trunk lid pretty bad. Your brother got lucky on this one.

 

had moments where I would just park, and the car starts slowly rolling backwards while the ebrake is up, and I barely notice, had some close calls to hitting parked cars behind me. :/

 

I'm looking to tighten the e-brake myself now and I know you're supposed to go in through the "ash tray" in the center console. I realize that this is specific to the older models but Even the service manual for the 06 has this same diagram so I assume its done the same way. Does anybody know how to get in through the compartment on the top of the center console? I would rather do it this way than taking off the whole center console but if that has to be done thats no big deal either.

 

Recently I pulled my e brake just to see how it feels and nothing happened. Mine must be busted too.

 

i need to adjust mine too always use it alot on the driveway

 

ha good thing you didnt hit that pole thats laying in their yard, pretty damn close

 

bump for answer
