Sc300 5speed Parking Brake Problem?

[erukian]

So i let my brother move my recently purchased 5speed SC300 as we were re-arranging the cars in our driveway, he backed out with the parking brake engaged and moved maybe 5-10 feet before he stopped cause i was yelling at him.

I know it's an honest mistake, but the car was off all night so the brakes were cold, could any damage of been done?

i swear when i dis-engage the parking brake now i get like an inch of play that i can wiggle the break up and down before it clicks. Is that normal? I just got the car yesterday so i'm not sure.

Thanks,

Joe

If you set and release the parking several times it will self adjust. You didn't hurt a thing.
