Streched e-brake cables a myth?
So I have come to offer the possibility that "stretched e-brake cables" is a myth. I find it a little egotistical for someone to think that they can "stretch" e-brake cables with one arm/hand and render the cables useless just from drifting or everyday usage.

I broke the cables in my 96 cavalier trying to power slide.
when it strech's its just unwinding... its one of the reasons why there a adjuster on the shifter for the cable...

yea im pretty sure over the 15 year life most people have on their cables, it will have stretched. also, I know ive tightened mine and after a while you can notice it now allows a farther pull. so, yea not from one day but over time i'd say it happens for sure.

Just because you don't believe they stretch doesn't mean its true. It is well known that they stretch eventually. Like Z28 was saying, the system is designed to give you a mechanical advantage (or leverage) making your pull a lot stronger than you are thinking.
