Put your car on jackstands and see if all the wheels turn
freely by hand. Tap the brakes and see if now they stick.

One
Need your thoughts. I have a '57 Coronet, 325,
Powerflite that has started to "jerk" when put in drive or reverse. With
car running, it will either strain and then "break free" or stall. This
just started on a car had sat for quite some time, and has been sticking in
the rear brakes. Even with that, it was doing fine once the initial
freeing of the rear brakes took place, with no reoccurance until it sat
overnight, etc. Now, it sticks as soon as the car stops (shift from
forward to reverse, etc).
My thoughts: Rear brakes sticking, or
Emergency brake sticking, or Transmission-Torque Converter concerns (although
the fluid seems at the right level, but clear, not red fluid).
Any
ideas on things to check (I am waiting on the rear brakes to come in, and have
picked up the cylinder rebuild kits. I will rent/buy a drum
puller)?? Does Murry Park have an e-mail address?
Appreciate your
thoughts and expertise. Thanks..
LARRY
