The e-brake is adjusted with the e-brake handle inside the car, just work it like a ratchet and it'll adjust.

Contact Redlineracer about the trans stuff, he's the SVTC guru here. He'll probably post up on his own though.

Drivetrain Differences

The SVT Contour has many high-performance improvements to produce more power and withstand harder driving than the normal Contour models.

These changes include:

* Changes to the camshaft include a longer duration and a complete change in valve timing points.
* Higher compression: 10:to1(SVT) vs 9.7(normal)
* PCM was more aggressively tuned and required premium fuel.
* Larger throttle body (60 mm vs 54 mm). Lifted from the 3.0L Duratec.
* Intake manifold and primary intake ports smoothed by ExtudeHone.
* SVT-Clutch.
* A water to oil, oil cooler to keep control of oil temperatures during performance driving.
* A radiator with a thicker core for better cooling(lifted from Saudi models).
* Different air filter and intake (cone style using same air filter as V6 Mustang).
* A lighter flywheel(from 21lbs to 19lbs.)
* A larger-diameter, quasi-dual exhaust.

These changes allowed the SVT Duratec to make 200hp at 6600rpm and 169lb-ft at 5500rpm. The rev-limiter was also raised to 6750rpm from 6500rpm.
