Cfoust Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Hey guys i have a 96 legacy outback 2.2 with a manual transmission. I have had the car for about 2 months now. Any ideas what would cause the parking break handle to not stay in the up/engaged position all the time. Sometimes when i pull it it will catch just fine others it will not catch at all or will pop and release shortly after being pulled. Thank you guys in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 is there a button on the lever? is it stuck? did you try wiggling it (professional term)? tighten the button? LINK guy made home made button out of old knob LINK guy fabricates button for sale but you might get an idea of how these work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfoust Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 The button is not stuck to my knowledge. After watching the video i will tear it apart and see if i find anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brus brother Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 is there resistance when you push the button? if it is the same style as the one pictured in the yt video seems like the spring may either be broken or getting stuck?
