For the life of me, I can't figure out how to tighten or remove the cigarette lighter in the console of my 89 Coupe, please help

Does anyone have a solution to stop the e-brake handle from rattling due to exhaust tones at around 2K rpms

Also my clutch pedal/mechanism makes two quick click sounds when I'm releasing it, anyone know what that typically is

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

dont know about the cigarette lighter....try taking out the console and looking at it from underneath. that noise from the e-brake is absolutely annoying...i also get a squeaking from the passenger side somewhere on a rough road. i get the clicking too....always when i push the clutch in

With the Lighter I'm sure you have to remove the console to take it out.... I think its a push-in and there is a clip on the other side..... as for the clutch click, could be a sign there is a break in your clutch cable friends 92gt started doing that.... about 4 months later the cable grenaded...... not sure if that info will help but I figured I would throw it out there anyways

im thinking that clicking is just the neutral safety switch on the clutch quadrant. but i could be wrong

I had the e-brake rattle. I just turned the little button u push toward me (like it was a screw) mine stopped rattling. Give it a try might work.

I would say the plastic clutch quad breaking.(maybe?)

Hope this stuff helps.

Thanks for the input everyone.

I had the console off and couldn't figure it(lighter) out, thought maybe someone might have done it b4

Its not the neutral safety switch, I pushed it in/out independently(without depressing the clutch) and it was quiet.....seems like a bushing or something in the pivot assembly I was hopin' someone has disassembled theirs b4 and could give me some insight.

I put a BBK/Gripp adjustable cable/quadrant on it about 6 months ago. It has a stiff pressure plate ie pedal effort.....maybe previous owner put the HD FRPP set in it and the added stress has worn a bushing in the pedal assembly??

Thanks again for the responses.

on the lighter....there is an outer sleeve that screws on to hold it in place, cant really tell by looking at it but if you thread it off the lighter assembly will come out
