I turned on my car, all ok until I go to back out. Uh-uh. Shift into 1st. Still no go. Run through the gears using clutch- all engage.
Seriously, it's as if the parking brake is still engaged, even tho when button is depressed, it clicks off, lever drops and the dash light goes off. I can shift (5 spd MT) but no way is this car going anywhere. Sigh. How to diagnose? Worse yet how do I explain to repair people (like I think I'm gonna get a house call - Can this car even be towed in this state?)
Vitals: 112K miles, serious rust, tho. Loved to death, but has been squealing from front wheels. Fluids all ok. Any suggestions?
I could also use good recommendation for local mechanic type between Tampa and Orlando, Florida to help me care for my baby.
