HI there my name vsal and i have a 93 civic, i left my civic park for one month and i took out the battery before i left on my one month vacation then when i cam back i put the battery back in then jump in the car then i started it and took the e brake of but the car would not roll out of the garage or reverse it like if the front brake are on or the e brake cause when i reverse the car would just jump back but not move.

HELP PLZ i have to get to work

 

Wish someone would have solved this i only let mine sit 8 hours and it did this same year

 

Jack up the back wheels one at a time and see if they turn freely with the e brake off. The cable may have gotten stuck. After prolonged storage, the brake shoes can rust stuck to the drum.

If it's automatic there may be a problem with the parking lock not releasing. Put the car in neutral or a forward gear with the engine off and try to push it backwards by hand.

 

Yea , your breaks could be seized. Just try mk378 advice, if it doesnt work just repost.

 

Well not exactly what happen with mine. Actually still drive it . But have to flintone foot reverse.

 

So when you shift to reverse, the engine just spins like it's in neutral?

Is it manual or automatic? If it's automatic you may be able to fix this by adjusting the shifter cable.

If manual, do the reverse lights come on when you shift to reverse? If not there may be so much slack in your shift linkage that you aren't moving the transmission to reverse.

More likely of course in either case there is a problem inside the transmission. But try to rule out the simpler external causes first before resigning to flintstone it.
