Using handbrake a lot on FWD...?

ImprezaL · 10-30-2000, 11:40 AM

Well, I was just wondering if it hurts the tranny or such to use the handbrake numerous times in succession or just a lot.
I have a little 1.8l L, so there's no rear diff to worry about...

Well, since the tranny isn't even connected to the rear wheels, it won't hurt it one bit.

Edit: assuming you have a FWD Impreza (& not an AWD Imp w/the auto fuse pulled).

Yeah, I didn't even think about the tranny not being connected...
