So I'm working on a local lady's GVR4 and I'm not sure what is going on. The car ran absolutely perfect until about a month ago. The car is parked on her inclined driveway, and she tried to back out to go some where. The car wouldn't move in reverse. She shifted into other gears to try and move it, and nothing. She then put it back into reverse, and it got stuck in reverse. So right now the car is stuck in reverse. You can't physically take it out of reverse. However, when you start the car and try to move the car, it doesn't. The clutch starts to engage and the engine bogs. So I figure it's one of two things:
1)The brakes are badly seized, and somehow she managed to get it into reverse and preload the gears so much you can't get it out. I think this is unlikely.
2)Somehow a roll pin fell out of a shift fork or something and the car is now stuck in two gears.
The lady that drives this car drives it super mellow. So I doubt she broke anything. I plan on taking a look at the car in a week and checking to see if the brakes are seized. Any other thoughts on what this might be?
