vintchry Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 All, I am perplexed by an issue with this 52 Saratoga. A semi automatic, fluid level is correct and it acts like the emergency brake is on when backing up. Noises, clanking and a drag. The emergency brake is NOT staying or dragging. Is there a valve or port that is not releasing? I have not drained the transmission and added new 10wt non detergent. I do have that. Driving forward all is well, shifts nicely and even kicks down when asked to. When on my 4 post lift and the rear wheels raised enough to not touch the driveshaft will freely turn clockwise but not in the opposite direction.

JACK M Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Could your rear brakes be dragging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintchry Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Jack, that is a good question, but all seemed well in that regard, no issue on a hill rolling backward or forward after the brakes were applied. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c49er Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Either the rear brakes have oil on them or the two E-brake shoes have oil on them. My 1950 NewYorker hard top did the same thing last summer-it was oil on the rear E-brake shoes.The car acted jerky with drive line rattle while trying to back up. New shoes and a new seal....All fixed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
