I know it's probably best to have someone (an expert) drive my T for the first time to teach me, but I don't know one in the area. It'll be your advice and Youtube videos. This Saturday I plan to go through it carefully to make sure all is ready. I know I have to install one of the brake rods. Not sure why it's off. That brings me to my question. Where should the Parking Brake be while driving? I've seen, and read, of it being in the middle while in low gear and then throwing it forward for high. The Instruction book seems to elude to it being pushed forward for driving, once, and that's it. What's appropriate? Does it matter?
