Does anyone know how to adjust the parking brake? A discription is all I need but pix would be a bonus.

There's an access cover inside the console, just behind the lever. When you take that off, you'll see the adjusting nut. Spec is for there to be 1 to 3 clicks when you pull the lever up with a force of 22 pounds.

As nycgps says, the service manual would help.

Maybe the part about where to find one to read. Now that he's got that, he's fine.
