Fast Wagon Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 dshap13, Did it work? If it did what size bolt / nut did you use? Thanks, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshap13 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 It didn't take 100% of the rattle out of the e-brake button, as the button and the ring around the button are metal, and still vibrate against each other under rough road conditions, but i would say that it took about 90% of the rattle out. Don't remember the exact size of the bolt...Wasn't too big in length and diameter. I would take apart your console first and see if you've got the rivet missing first. If so, you can then guage what size bolt to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spieldawg Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Hill assist? A friend tried to tell me that all Subarus have this, whereas I let off the brake with the clutch fully depressed and some kind of "hill assist" prevents me from rolling backwards. I told him not on my '05 LGT... And I was rolling backwards the very next time I got in the car... Is this an older/different model Subaru thing? It's actually a Forester thing. I'm not sure if the 06's have them, I know that at least 02-04 MT models had this, and I've heard that they're the only cars in the US that are available with this feature. I personally find it to be a bit of a pain—I'm not great a driving stick (an understatement), and having the brakes stay on with the clutch in make it really hard to get a feel of what you're doing.

NewLegGT67 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Coming from "the other side of the pond" I gotta ask why you guys are calling it an E brake ? Would you really pull on it if there was an emergency ? Maybe an ejector seat would be better In the UK you have to be able to use the HAND BRAKE to perform a hill start in order to pass the driving test, and there is no "hill assist" allowed. Is there even a separate test here for manual or auto cars ? Unfortunately, the road test in the US is quite simple. Basically, just point and drive. You don't have to know how to drive a standard in the US to get a drivers's license. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3.
