Larry,
that is a good bet. The "parking brake" is a transmission
brake. Look for a ~10?" diameter drum at the rear of the transmission and
ahead of the driveshaft.. The brake shoes are in there..at least on the 59s they
are. To service them you will have to remove the drum (probably need drum
puller).

Subject: [FWDLK] Transmission Brake
I understand that the
Forwardlook Mopars (in this case I am talking about a '57 Coronet, 325 Poly
with a Powerflite transmission) have the emergency brake on the transmission.
I think mine is sticking. I replaced the other brakes with new
shoes and they are not wet or sticking, but the car will not roll on its own
and the engine, when engaged, has to rev up until it sort of "breaks free".
If the car is slowly moving, and the Neutral button is pushed, the car
"brakes". The car sat for quite some time and the "tramsmission E-Brake"
is something new for me. What does it look like? How do I adjust
or replace it? Do I need to drop the drive shaft or anything to get to
it? HELP!!! Thanks for your expertise.
LARRY
