For the parking brake: replace the cables.

Can you elaborate more? What engine and transmission? Is the parking brake not attached at the handle or the caliper?

Idk the engine code but it’s a 1.8 turbo with a 5 speed manual. The clutch catches really low but I was told it doesn’t feel like the clutch is going out. It feels like it just needs readjusted. The parking break isn’t connected at the caliper. There shifting is just rough like when I have the clutch in and I’m trying to go into the next gear it’s just a little rough. Kind of Jerky. It’s not a major problem I’d just like it to be smooth

Is that something I can do on my own or is it too complicated and I should have a shop do

I did it myself back in the day, and replaced the console to the 2004+ one with the cupholders in the console

I’m sure you could find someone parting out and ship it to Europe
