    okay that is the problem. The shift lever shaft that goes into that hole on the crescent moon thing cracked and broke(The hole on the crescent moon thing). It now by hand the crescent moon thing can be closed and opened. Got some backup ones and will replace tomorrow.

                    that part still works on my 88... it's the vacuum actuator on the actual brake release that has died... twice... and is unobtanium now.

                      pretty sure my vacuum motor works, but the valve went bad ages ago, and then I caught the car on fire and cauterized the hose shut so I never bothered with it anymore. The release on the Mark VII is also toast, and unobtanium. Those are more teh suck though, the release lever is hidden under the dash and if you pull it with your hand, the pedal comes up and smacks you right in the back of the hand. I found that one can carefully pop the release with the toe of your shoe to avoid the bruised hand.

                        yeah... the Mark VI has that damn dinky hand breaker lever... but it's vacuum motor works fine.

                          Has anyone had any luck finding a replacement vacuum release actuator? Mine died today and i rather enjoyed the feature since i use the parking brake all the time..., perhaps a different model/year is interchangeable with panthers?

                            I bought the last one in the dealer system that the local stealer uses over a year ago. broke 4 months later.

                            so other than grabbing a junk yard one... and praying the rubber in it isn't rotted out... I doubt you'll find one.

                                I mean the rubber diaphragm that is attached to the parking brake lever itself.
