Need help with my evo
Need help with my evo
Need help,
So I usually drive my 2003 evo on the weekend, the evo have about 80k miles on it
Couple days ago I started the car to take it for a spin, I go on reverse backed up a little then first gear and forward a little, all the sudden the car feels as if someone is holding the wheels and brake paddle got hard.
Lifted the whole car tried to spin the wheel, absolutely no problem, they were all spinning (wanted to make sure the calipers are not jammed)
Now after I brought the car down I started it again and it refused to move, it would if I force it, the second I take my foot off the clutch it make a slight knock noise
I tried to start the car couple days later it did the same think, started normal but got jammed again
I am trying to find out what the problem can possibly be
thanks in advance,

Start by checking every wheel & calipers, see if there's anything around them. Get the help of someone else to push brake & check calipers are working....chk if brake fluid level is where is suppose to be.....
Certainly sounds like something buggered up in the drivetrain? @Built8/9
How many miles on this EvO. Ever have the clutch changed?
With the EvO on 4 (stable) jack stands (on level concrete) can you start the car & run it slowing in 1st gear? Just be careful not to jerk the car off the stands! (nobody under the car when you do this!)

If it was my car I would probably start by putting it up on jacks and removing the wheels. Then I would put the trans in gear and rotate the crank by hand and see if the binding is happening in a particular gear and hope to hear or notice something while doing it.
