Is it bad pushing the e-brake button when engaging?
 

I have a bad habit of trying to be quiet while engaging my e-brake due to my old car. When I engage the brake, I typically hold in the button and release once I've pulled it to the top. Is this bad at all on the brake system?

The reason I ask is because I think I've noticed a difference in the stiffness of the brake. It seems like I'm able to pull it much higher than I originally could. It still works fine to my knowledge (although I havent tried a super steep hill) but seems to pull up easier and goes higher.

Any information/input is appreciated. Thanks guys.

Please buy an automatic.

I'll be the good samaritan. The button simply disengages the lock on the brake handle. No harm comes to the brakes the way you use it

The ebrake handle pulling higher is because the cable that the handle is attached to is a little loose. There should be a screw or bolt you can tighten under the center console trim that will restore the shorter pull.

wow

Well, if you hold the e-bake button, while hold down the :smokin: lighter. Then you are in for big problems. Glad I solved your problem.

Why did i read this?

Because it makes you realize that there are people out there dumberer than you.

Hard to tell trolls from tards these days.

Well atleast its not in the section for the genp...........
Ahhh Damn it.

Wow. Any other questions mr. mensa?

Made me lol and my gf doesn't understand why....

yeah i'm sick of my loud e-brake too... i dont even use it anymore i just leave the car in gear. I also plugged my exhaust pipe cuz that was making far too much noise. and i rarely turn the car on in the first place, without earplugs in.

:banghead:

:shhh:

Damnit....another genpu owner strikes again!

You know it's posts like this that make genpu mothers eat their young. FFS why did I buy a genpu?!?! Now I am automatically a fucking retard by association. OP just pull as hard as you can on your e-brake handle until it comes off, then forcefully shove it up your own ass!

Y buy a speed it u dont even know the answer to this question. Trade for a civic and start in gaymans land...

Lolol.


Case in point....Lolol

just when i thought the questions couldn't get any more dumb. at least it's not another oil thread.

I'm fucking offended.

Clicking Noise
 

I dont mean to hi-jack this thread but since you all are talking about e-brakes. When I lift up on mine to engage it, it makes a clicking noise. I have taken it to the dealer three times and they havent found the cause. Since I own a gen2(pu) I thought it might be related to the OPs issue. Any ideas? :chairfall:

Mazda please kill the ms3, I can't fathom how fucking stupid the gen3 fags will be. Make the value of Gen 1 go up.

Fuck pu's..

The problem when you leave the car in gear would be if somebody crash your car will damage the tranny.... that's why is better to leave on neutral with e-brake...

I try not to be to much of a dick sometimes but this is just to much of a fail to explain.

Fucking Christ, were 90% of you here born out the back of a hatch or what? Excuuuuuuuse me for asking what I THOUGHT was a harmless question seeing as I've only put 5000 miles on the car. I've owned 4 cars and NEVER had to tighten a single one, so why would a new car need it done? My bad habit from my old cars terribly obnoxious ebrake was my only possible explanation.

You all talk so much shit how the questions 'never cease to amaze you'; well how do you think people like myself feel about answers like yours? Fuck, the question was answered kindly and simply in several posts. Instead, ya'll actually seem to care to go out of your way to talk down on someone. Its fucking weak and it REALLY makes this site shit. Way to contribute to the community.

Carry on the flame war, I got what I needed and have no reason to come back to visit anyones replies.

LOL....bye.

Mods,Please close this thread!

Dude, grow a set. You asked a question that can be answered by anyone that has driven a manual car and you just stated this is your 4th so don't act dumb. Let's start with the obvious...
1. You havent donated. So in my opinion you shouldn't have any right to make a new thread except for a new member welcome.
2. If you are driving a car and don't know the simple operation of a ratchet system you should probably look into that.
3. To answer your question so we don't find you hanging by your belt from your shower rod due to lack of answers, no. You aren't hurting anything by pushing or not pushing the button while applying the e-brake. It's a ratchet system only and the click is just to ensure it is fully engaged on the next notch. Pushing the button only releases the catch mechanism so it doesn't get hung up on any of the notches when releasing the brake.
4. Please grow a set and act like a man. This is the Internet machine. Not preschool.

You're a fag

In b4 closed thread.

OP - read the owners manual, ask your dealer or use the Mazda roadside assistance app.

Btw - i like this site and all the bashing of dumb questions. I've been on other sites where stupid questions have to be tolerated because of the site sponsors and pussy mods.

Got Troll?

This is not spam as reported, but it is GenPu.

OP, read the FAQ, do some searching, and most importantly, you will need a little thicker skin to survive here if you post this kind of stuff.

Fail thread is fail.

I would have left this open for the continued genPOO comedy.

I nominate this for the first official dumb thread of 2012

Yeah, I could use a laugh. Reopened.

You sir, are the greatest mod to ever live. Thank you for this <3

I thought that was the NOS button?

Optimistic nomination considering this is only 1/4/2012.

Thanks for stopping by. And thank you for your contributions to the community as well. :violin:

Dude, he does not have it as his avatar. Relax, faggot.

i know it isn't his avatar but something got screwed up because it looked like he posted a picture in his reply to the thread and i somehow got his profile pic instead of my profile pic. something with the server is fucked up.
P.S. i am not gay i just like the way it tastes, faggot!

You do know that the guy you had quoted originally has a celstial gay blue genpu as his avatar, correct? Why would someone randomly steal your personal avatar.

Your paranoid attitude reminds me of this chick

Yeah, who would steal your avatar??

:tongue3:

Between pu-owners lack of common sense and retarded outbursts, I'm thinking I should have bought a Kia. Perhaps I would still have my dignity.

ok very funny @Raider you made your point. It was a hiccup in the system. enjoy my avatar. LOL

LOL, anytime, Rich.

@TylerC161 - OP do not push the button. My buddy set the brake and this happened...

Watch out, he may have misread it as cum@mebro.com...

Ok either you deserve a MAJOR ass beating AND my wife has some serious explaining to do, or there is some inside joke on this forum that I am unaware of. Either way this shit just got VERY weird. See exhibit A....

This thread started out fail. Then it got better. Then it got a little slow. Then someone brought up Trogdor and it got better again. Then it got AWESOME

This fucking guy is keeping my company in business (work for the makers of listerine and Neutrogena)

@GODspeed7 didn't read the User Agreement when he signed up. Missed the camera in his phone becomes msf property. Better than the cuttlefish end of a CentiPad.

Well played sir. Touche. The neautragena is shaving lotion since I have sensetive skin. But since I can't say that any more manly I will just bow out and say until next time raider. Until next time....

Fucking @Raider you never seem to disappoint how you enter the matrix and pull out the craziest shit.

I must say, @GODspeed7 posted a pic with a sign of hs listerine, and some nimrods post fs shit without them, repeatedly! Bravo....

late to the party

:lmao: I love the cartoon references.

Hahaha well what can I say, I haz the reading mod and a wise person once corrected me when I tried to sell my paintball shit without a sign. Hopefully since I posted a useless sign of mouthwash and gave you credit when credit is due, you will be more forgiving the next time I fuck up on here. We will use code word "fresh breath" as a reminder to our deal. If you accept the terms that is...

I am a huge fan of your products sir. Since I am a locomotive engineer, you all keep me in business when you buy....anything. Glad someone caught the inspector gadget reference. So when can we get back on topic of the OP cramming his own genpu ebrake handle up his ass cause the sound scares him?

i can now tell a thread being rip to pieces by the subject and number of replies. i think i belong here.

note to OP, you might think you won't come back, sooner or later you'll have question about your car and you'll be back here looking for answers. when i first got my car and had a question, google took me here, saw the resources at this place, immediately registered and donated. then asked a question and all hell broke loose. thought about never coming back but realize the knowledge here out weights my personal pride. just don't take it personally.

Ugh, and I get shoed in with this faggot.

@GODspeed7

son, I haz sensitive skin too. <----dis nigga don't shave with no lotion or gel. Here's the trick: Schick hydro 5 blade, shave in the shower with hot water. No soap, no shaving gel. Works like a mofuggin charm.

Used to use the fusion 5, but that fucker's harsh compared to the hydro.

^^^ pussies I shave with a butcher knife... Man the fuck up

I shave with the sharpened thigh bone leftover from my stint with the corpse of @jonspeed3's mom. Fuck razors, female thigh bone can be sharpened to surgical specs.

Video or ban.

Srsly. Take vid of shaving with butche knife, or we'll ban joo.

PUT UP BEEYOTCH!

@Raider Same goes for you, vid of shaving with thigh bone!
