I recently purchased this car and was told it needed a parking brake cable. On this car it is actually a parking gear cable as it goes to the transmission and locks it up. There is a parking brake pedal assembly in the car that works like a parking brake-when depressed it tightens the cable. The only thing is that when tightened the transmission is NOT locked up. When the cable is pushed back into the housing is when the transmission locks up. There is no actual parking brake at all and doesn't look like there ever was one. There is no drum on the driveshaft behind the tranny, and no cable system to the rear wheels-also doesn't look like there ever was. The cable is broken at the top where it hooks into the pedal assembly. It looks like it was meant for a 5/19 bolt that adjusts. Did these work in reverse-pedal down to drive, pedal released to lock up the transmission? I think I can have a new cable made but as near as I can tell it would operate in reverse order-pedal depressed to drive. I have worked on a lot of older cars-I have a 56 Coronet (parking brake is a drum behind tranny), but I have never seen anything like this. All/any help greatly appreciated! Thanks, Tracy In Omaha.
