It caused the brakes to drag and they actually caught on fire. Luckily it only fried the pads and caliper. That's when I unhooked the rear cables from the calipers. I don't like relying on just keeping it in gear to stop it from rolling. New ebrake cables from Rockauto are like $15 per side. They just came in a few days ago and I plan on putting them on when I replace my clutch.</blockquote>
