I just got a '98 Corolla, and the e-brake does not work at all. I just tried to park on a hill, and I left it in 1st gear, but the car still rolled back! Does that mean there is a problem with my transmission, too?
Bad transmission %26amp; ebrake?
Depends on how steep the hill is.
Bad transmission %26amp; ebrake?
no the problem is you did not tun your wheel into the curb e-brake needs adjusted to cable replacement..trannys can only hold so much pressure
Reply:Yep and in addition too your gear box being in little kibbles and bits your clutch is also apparently shot, good ol' japaneese cars!
Reply:Rear DRUM breaks tend to not self adjust correctly. They are suppose to but often the don't.
You can take it to the brake shop and have it adjusted. But I warn you that if it didn't adjust till now, they will wear again and have same problem down the line.

Now for the tranny - when you said it rolled, do you mean it continues to roll, or do you mean it rolls for about 3 to 6 inches and stop? It it continues to roll then your clutch is worn. If it only rolls few inches and stop - don't worry about it.
Good Luck...
P.S. The way to adjust drum breaks are to drive backwards, and then hit the break hard. It sounds strange but that how they adjust.
Reply:trans is fine, adjust the rear brakes.
