[QUOTE="Cobra Jet, post: 16963297, member: 127353"] The problem is because on the SN95 Mustangs (94-98), the factory used a single inferior rivet to hold the ebrake cable bracket to the trans tunnel. For those who do use their ebrake daily, eventually the rivet breaks, allowing that bracket to sag (or come totally off). Because that bracket is sagging or totally off the trans tunnel, this causes the cables to sag onto the driveshaft because there isn't any tension holding them "up" anymore. The fix is to remove center console and remove driveshaft; use a bolt to reattach the cable bracket back to the trans tunnel. Don't use any rivets... and make sure the bolt clears the driveshaft (don't have the threaded shaft of the bolt protruding down towards the driveshaft. If you must do it with threaded shaft down, make sure it's short enough that it will not cause ANY interference). This common issue is why you'll see some SN95 94-98 driveshafts with a scoring mark about in the area of the middle of the trans tunnel - from the bracket or cables coming in contact with it while at speed. At some point Ford fixed the issue with a better bracket or securing method because it's not really heard about after the 1998 SN95's. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
