Default What could be wrong?

I started up my car today after work. Everything sounded fine. Then i start moving. I hear metal rubbing on metal. I thought i had the ebrake on but i didnt. So i shifted to second. and i could still hear it. Any ideas what it could be?


also anyone know a good palce on line to get some new brake rotors, pads, and possibly brake lines.

thanks everyone

do you have enough oil in the car? Is the muffler dragging underneath the car?

or low wear indicator for your pads, time to replace. I'm in the same boat, would also like to know a cheap place to get pads and rotors nicer than what autozone has to offer.

Default tranny fluid?

If its not the brakes, i would check the tranny fluid. Your's a manual right? I think your situation happen to me once when i under filled my transmission fluid in my teg. That metal to metal grinding noise is pretty freaky man. Check for leaks from the tranny, sorry you will have to get dirty for this one.

this friday i im getting brembo blank rotors from autozone. i dont know what pads i want to run though. im thinking aem.

if its the brakes i thought to myself. I might as well just put on my koni reds *yes koni reds :P i cant afford yellows *

i think i might buy a rear disk brake setup if i have enough cash left over.
