I have a really bizarre problem, this did happen after changing my driveline fluids on the drive home. Everything was fine at first, perfectly normal, then about halfway home the first odd thing I noticed was I had more boost than normal, at a low rpm, with light throttle (was cruising on the highway) Then it started to feel like something was slowing the car down to the point it didn't want to go. The engine is perfectly fine, still running perfectly normal.
But either something in my driveline is binding, or the brakes are, I pulled off and had it towed.
What really baffles me is I'm not sure which it is. Because I'm almost certain that all the drain/fill plugs were tightened, and that the correct fluids were used. That being said, it did seem like there was some shavings in the tcase, and it seemed like it was low when we drained it. The other weird thing though, is the brake pedal is really stiff, almost as if its already depressed most of the way, it's as stiff as it would be if you slammed on it for an emergency stop, but it's like that without even touching it.
I have no idea what to make of all this...if anyone has experienced a similar issue, please chime in on what it wound up being.
