my 54 has the small brake drum at the rear of the transmission. the shoes are a little glazed but have sufficient lining. the problem is that if i go in drive the shoes seem to be grabbing the drum and forward movement is held back. if i give it more gas the car will jerk forward and you can smell the linings burning. the funny part is reverse is fine. i backed off the star wheel and it will drive fine but then you have virtually no parking brake.there seems to be no happy medium, if the park brake works, you cannot drive it and if you adjust it so it will drive there is no park brake. i am going to put new shoes on but somehow i do not think the problem is that simple. all the other parts loook good from what i can see. can the drum be out of round and how would you even determine that? can these drums be cut? any help would be appreciated as i cannot use the car until this is solved. dennis, 53 imperial, 54 windsor convertible ____________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
