Most of the time the handbrake is just a small drum brake type system on the inside of your disks on the rear of the car. pull leaver, pulls cable, actuates the brake pads out onto the inside of the disk. (outwards)

In saying that, i dont know if the new MY11 has this same system, though i dont know why they would change it?

it wont actuate onto the transmission

your safe on that one mate
