hey guys recently had my one of my e-brake cable changed and now when i pull my hand brakes I only get three clicks and its tight but the problem is when I let go of my brake pedals the car shifts alittle and then it stops sometimes it makes a weird noise. Any thoughts guys thanks in advance.

you mean when you pull up the e-brake, then let off the normal breaks and the car moves like an inch before it catches? I was doing that before, but after driving to several places today it hasn't done it, but I haven't parked on any steep inclines, but it didn't do it on any of the really gentle inclines I parked on.
