My ES 300 will not move in Reverse!
Guys, so the brakes needed replacing on the ES 300 but since I bought cross-drilled rotors for them, I decided to drive the car to the ground.
Which I did, the car was making all the noise of no pad hitting the rotor when I braked up.
But now, this is crazy. The car (the ES is a manual) goes foward but when I put it in reverse, the car goes in reverse and it WILL NOT BUDGE! I am revving the engine trying to reverse the car, but it's like the rear brakes are now stuck.
Can this happen? Can I wear the brake down so much it will lock up? It's no the tranny or clutch as the car moves foward. The car moves in reverse maybe 3 inches and locks up.
HELP!

that's the weirdest thing i have EVER heard happen to an ES. can't you take apart the rear brakes and hammer around in there? what if it's in neutral on an uphill, will it roll all the way back forever?? just checking.
