i have a 1990 camaro rs with a auto trans. i was thinkin bout removing my parking brake from the car completely cuz im in the process of doing a custom console and i really dont need it. my car is a auto so i jus put the shifter in park. is there any reason i shouldnt take off my parking brake? i mean i can see why u need it in a manual cuz thats the only way 2 park the car. but do you think i can jus remove the entire parking brake assembly off of the car and it would be ok? sorry if this is kind of a stupid question. thanks 4 all the help.

 

Yeah you can remove it.But as far as why you should keep it.
Park your car on a steep hill place it in park without the parking brake and you just might have a problem getting the car out of park.

 

it wot pass inspection with no parking brake will it?

 

probably not.I would leave it alone and look into other console swaps.

 

you should keep it because your tranny is not a kick stand. ever park on a hill and hear a big clunk when pulled out of park, that can't be all that great for things.

 

I don't know the inspection laws where you're at, but in PA you will not pass inspection without a functioning parking brake. Whether its a manual or an automatic transmission.
