E-brake wont lock?

[STAGE 4.6]

Anyone had any problems with there E-brake? Mine just out of the blue wont lock up, in the up position? If you hold it up it will hold the car. i thought the cable might of broke but i removed the center console and its fine

Makes a good drift brake.Maybe the lock spring is hangging up.

The spring that keeps the cog thingy tight might be broken, or something is lodged in the teeth in your console.

I had a 05 GT and the E-brake tooth that catches on the gear broke off and the E-brake handle had to be replaced and that was after 10 months of ownership.

Thats what iam thinkin? i took the console out again and theres a small detent in the middle bottom part of the handle, when i depressed it, i got the ratchet affect and the handle locked. So i kind of figured the cause just not sure how to fix it
