parking brake worn out - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

I think my parking break is worn out.

When I park the car I always set the parking break, and it holds the car in place just fine (I leave it in 1st gear too) - but when I'm driving down the street, if I pull up on the parking break as hard as I can, the car does not noticeably slow down. I always figured that doing this should really slow the car down (It's also called an E-brake, E for EMERGENCY right?).

Is there something that needs to be tightened up? Paking brake cable loose or something?

Thanks,
Durrman
