The vacuum collar that releases the brake when you move the selector to drive is probably broken... do you hear a hissing noise? They all go bad.
I dunno if you can find new ones, but junkyard ones are likely to be bad too. I just pulled one out of a low mileage car for the p72 *fingers crossed*Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

OH MY SHIT!!! IT DOES HISS!!Originally posted by 85crownHPP View Post
I was wondering what the hell that was. So its called a vacuum collar? You cant figure out if it works or not by looking at it? Any chance you got a pic?

Im not sure if they physically crack open or if the seals wear out. I'll take pics when I swap mine but its pretty easy to ID.
Its a white plastic semi-circle thing with two vacuum hoses on it, attached to the end of the steering column, under the dash near the firewall. If you're lucky, the hose may have just popped off or is leaking.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements

You should see a shiny ribbed cylinder thing on the back of the park brake assembly with a nipple on the back of it.Pete ::::>>> resident LED addict and CFI defector LED bulb replacements
