I don't think so. The emergency brake squeezes the calipers together tighter--if you're moving, the slip/pull is applied to the brake calipers, not the e-brake line. So the wear is the same type as when you use your brakes to come to a stop... or when automatic cars "creep" forward with their brakes still on. I think. I live in a pretty hilly area and I use my e-brake all the time with no adverse effects.Honduh_integraTR wrote: I was wondering if you do hill starts using emergency brake then it'll wear out your e brake line faster?
Considering the e brakes are dropped as the car feels like it is moving; will this damage it in anyway?
Back to the reversing topic, backing out of my garage, I have to reverse up a steep driveway. I have to keep the clutch partially engaged (slipping). If I clutch in and then "glide", the part where I'm clutched in is too fast, and I come to a near stop when the clutch is disengaged. So there's no choice but to partially engage it the whole way. It's a short distance though, and I don't really have another option, so I don't get concerned about it. The clutch is designed to wear.
