Took apart the rear drum brake assembly to figure out the parking brake issue I posted about earlier with this picture:



Turns out that the parking brake lever was missing--yes, missing--from the driver's side brake assembly. This is Honda part # 43371-SAA-004.

My theory then is that when the parking brake was engaged, the wire would be pulled forward without pulling the lever, and then since the lever was not there, the wire wouldn't retract, leaving the extra wire there and throwing off the 90 degree angle.

When I get the part installed, I'll need to readjust the parking brake, so I'll install my new S2000 e-brake handle at the same time.

Hoping that's all it is, getting the part ordered tonight.

Also, I'm getting Autostop with leanburnminactivationspeed set to 27 (22 mph). I didn't get it when set to 30 (25 mph), so I'll try setting it to 28 (23 mph) and see what happens.
