I was tightening up my e-brake and found that it will make it very hard to move forward in drive, but otherwise, no effect at all.

Any ideas?

Huh!?

So, if you put your Jeep in neutral, set the parking brake it rolls away?

but if you put the Jeep in drive, set the parking brake and try to drive away you can feel the drag?

Aliens.

Y2K!!

Have you tried neutral in different directions? Mine doesnt hold rolling down backwards, but rolling forwards it holds just fine. Either way, you need to adjust your E brake lol

Oh, well you didn't say that.

Just adjust it so that it grabs tighter.

Or the shoes might be worn out. Pull them off and give them a look.

Hadn't figured that out yet. If I tighten it up enough to where it woks in reverse it's not going anywhere forward. I'll scope out the brakes thanks
