Okay i've searched the forums for something relevent to my problem but nothing really gives me a clue to why this would happen. I just got my head rebuilt due to a faulty tensioner, stupid piece of crap. Anyways, after getting my car back from a nice 3 week stay at the shop, i was driving like usual, havent ever launched my car, i dont race, i practically baby it to death. But anyways i was driving about 55 mph and all of a sudden my rear passenger wheel locked up. I was able to pull into a parking lot safely(thank God). Anyways i got a flatbed trailer to take the car home, all of my other wheels turn except for this one. I put my car up on jacks, lifted it off the ground completly put it in gear and all the wheels would spin normally, even the one that locked up. I dropped it off the jacks and basically let the car try to roll down my driveway but it would stop, as if i were applying the brakes, i know my rear driver side tire spins, so do the front two its just the passenger rear tire that wont spin, under load i guess. If its not one thing it another bout to sell her might have better luck with a dodge colt........any feedback would be appreciated

extremely wierd, never ehard nothing like this

probly something in the cv or rear diff, maybe the brakes? don't see what would make your brakes do that all of a sudden though i would not sell the car for a colt, old cars have problems get something newer if you don't want to mess with it

sorry i couldn't help much
 
well i removed the drain plug from my transfer case, probably two teaspoons of dark black sludge that was once probably gear lube ooozed out. so i'm thinking its the transfer case...i got one in the garage might just throw that on there and see how it runs, Hopefully i didnt blow the transmission.:dsm:
 
go to a mitsu dealer and make the damn devil pay for it! transfer case recall.
