park brake not working

I pulled into my driveway the other day, and forgot to leave it in gear when I turned off the car, pulled up the brake and to my surprise i started creaking backwards with the park brake fully applied. I let it go for a bit to see if it would catch but it never did, so i put it in gear and headed to TGO to see if anyone could help me out.

Insight ?

Re: park brake not working

well your going to have to get under the car. If the cables are still where they are supposed to be and not broke than you'll have to tighten them up at the T-block. Located at the top of the trans tunnel above the drive shaft.
