Weird problem acceleration problem after parking brake use.

[MattM]

Ok, ive noticed this afew times, but its not consistant. I always put my parking brake on when i park, and it seems like the parking brake remains on for a little while after i start going sometimes... but not all the time... I loosened the nuts right off so there is no tension on the parking brake cable, and i still get that feeling once in awhile, it has a really hard time accelerating.. after a minute or 2 of driving it goes away, but it sounds aweful pulling out of a parking lot a crawl and reving at 1500 just to keep moving...

any ideas?

car is M50 swapped BTW

It does sound like you parking brake isn't releasing. While it could be a problem with the cables, it could just as easily be a problem with the mechanism. With the rear rotors off you can determine where the problem is.

Yep, take off your rear rotors and look at the inner workings. You may find something loose.

Something's loose in my parking brake too, seems like the shoes aren't secured very well or something as there's a few degrees of play backwards and forwards in the wheel before it stops moving.
