my c5 wont move
I'm hoping someone can steer me in the direction of what could be wrong with my c5 with auto transmission. i had put my c5 on jack stands to fix an exhaust leak & replace my fuel filter. before i did this, the car ran great. i didnt have any delay or slip in my transmission. When i put the car back on the ground, I could feel it go into gear, but it wouldn't move. I determined the emergency brake was stuck on. I put it back on jack stands & removed the back tires. i was having difficulty in removing , getting the brake to release. At that point ,I just pulled the 2 bolts that hold the bracket that held the e brake line to the rear hub. i did this to both rear tires. when i put it back on the ground, but it still won't move. its not the same as before, I don't feel the bump of going into gear as before. The car moves forward, barely, wont back up at all. forward movement is only a few inches, but it did move slightly. I'm at a complete loss as what could be wrong. is there some safety back up that does this if e brake is disconnected? I'm not a great mechanic. I'm half assed, at best, but I'm learning quickly. If someone could give me an idea of what is wrong, i would be eternally grateful. I'm at a complete loss of what could be wrong. Thank you everyone.
