97 Civic ebrake issue
 

This morning, I went to put the ebrake up and before the first click it kinda stuck there and wouldn't go up, but easily would go back down. I then tired again and with a little more force I got it up.

For the last 2 months the lever has been loose side to side and if I wobble it, the ebrake light would go on and off. Now though, the lever when down/off doesn't seem to want to stay all the way down, it pulls up just a tad (sometimes the light will come on but if i wobble it, its off and sometimes it doesn't come on) and there is a little room before the first click.

Is it possible the lever pop out of place? Never had a problem with it and has good pull/tension when applied. I did a test after that happen, when off i rolled backwards and when applied it worked.
