This Morning after I had warmed up my XR6 for 15 minutes I had the strangest thing happen.
I had the car in reverse (Manual) handbrake off and I went to accelerate and the car wouldn't budge, then after a short burst of acceleration the car made a loud clunk and started to reverse. it was about -6 this morning could the hand brake frozen from the extreem cold? I have heard that if you are up in the mountains you dont leave your handbrake on because it will freeze over. |

Yes the same thing has happen to me before. Now i don't bother using the hand brake anymore. It's been a very cold winter this year.

Maybe it's time for a fluid flush and replenish for the manual transmission.
Could be the handbrake though ... or your clutch was frozen as well. I haven't had an issue out my way though ... have had many -5 deg C mornings. Only thing that I had issues was my battery died and couldn't crank the LPG motor over.

Your brake pads will always touch your discs, and when you park your car, if it has a slight bit of water or dew on it, it will freeze over....
Or maybe you just ran over the cat....  :
