so i was driving around the hood, in my square for about half an hour and as i was heading home i thought i was missing the brake pedal or something, but then noticed that in order to brake i had to push the pedal in ALL THE WAY! it wasnt a problem when i started, any ideas? i hope one of you wise guys can help me out.
also i smelled burning rubber, you guys have any tips for this? the hand brake WAS off...is it cuz im a clutch madman? well ANY feedback will be awesome thanks. |

| perhaps a wheel cylinder has started leaking and the fluid level in the resivoir is low? maybe air in the lines?do a good flush and bleed of the system and check your wheel cylinders and brake hoses. |

| What's the condition of your rubber flex hoses? Maybe one collapsed and locked up a wheel. This might affect pedal free play too... |

It might not do that if the back is locking up. |

this would be true but since we don't know what it's doing one can only assume :wink:
so C,check all the points both everett and I pointed out and you should be able to get it figured out pretty easy |

| well actually it WAS pulling to the left just a little...maybe that would have something to do, or some sort of sign? |
