I was wondering if it would be possible to convert the parking brake from a CL-S auto (pedal) to the e-brake "handle" like the 6-speeds. I would like that a lot more, and think it would look better to. What parts would be required and how much trouble would it be?

 

Actually the hand brake just sucks on this car. Always comes loose. It's not tight like in other cars. Keep your pedal.
But you would need to convert the center console to a 6MT one, & reroute the parking brake cables as well as get the brackets for the cables that go under the console.

 

Thanks fuzzy, just thinink it would look better.

 

good info. I was wondering about this too for looks and functionality. I've driven off forgetting the parking break was on many times...prolly doesn't even work anymore! That is such a stupid design for a sports car....stick or a/t

 

I remember reading over on the TL side of the forum , it came up in discussing the 6 speed swap of the 2nd gen, but frankly I would save the money and invest in lowering your car CL-Slick!

 

great advice LL

 

Car is getting lowered within the next two months. I have suspension coming from another member on here.

 

are u still planning on also doing the ebrake sswap. ??

 

not a bad idea... keep us posted on price and stuff

 

Same for foot brake. Press all the way down, put car in N and car will roll on a very slight grade/hill.

 

Possibly after I pay off some things. I was just wondering what would be needed so I could possible star saving. I will most likely buy headers and rims next.

 

So what I'm experiencing is normal? I assumed I needed a cable adjustment, or new e-brake shoes. Cause my e-brake does suck. I have to yank it all the way up to the top just to get it to "click" or actually grab. When I'm on just a slight incline the e-brake is not enough. I constantly worry about my car rolling back!!! I really don't like leaving my car in gear but am forced too if not parking on a flat surface. I have to do something about this.....

 

It needs to be adjusted & tightened. Instructions are in the FAQ.
However it needs constant adjusting to keep it tight. I have to adjust mine at least every 6 months. For some reason it just comes loose again.

 

I was going to do this swap too, but then i took it all apart, and on the automatics the tunnel where the e-brake hold down bolts go you need to drill it out the welded over hole and get a bold thread in there.
Then swap all the garnishes over and get athe 6 speed seat heater swiches amoung other things

any ways i wish i had it sometimes but i like the auto cuphoder better anyway
summer project mabey....

 

^ Thanks for the info man.

 

n/p man good luck
the tunnel is the hardest part
and im not sure why but the L/R cables are diffrent part numbers, auto from manual
not sure but i looks like you can use the auto ones....

 

That is a neat idea, still dont understand why our car came w/ a truck brake e-brake.
