When you stop on a hill and facing up you can then press the clutch in and hold it there and then remove the brake. The car should stay stationary as long as the hillholder cable is adjsuted properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Eh, when they work its great. I guess I'm lazy The one on my 86 T-Wagon hasnt worked since I got it and I still try to make it work. Did I say I was lazy? When the clutch gets worn out, the HH will be a bear to adjust right. Most people disconnect them and then dont reconnect when they put the new clutch in.

subyrally Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 i never found all the parts for the hill holder when i build my rx, so i didnt put em in. the only problem i am having with it being there is that the hill holder lock the front right brake caliper, until i turn the thing on top of it, then it hisses and releases the brakes. anyone know about fixing this problem?
