Are you sure it is the brakes? A bad ring and pinion in the transmission can
cause that nasty effect. If an automatic so can a bad sprag clutch.
Brakes will feel more like a gradual drag. If it is a sudden snap type hard
lock up look into the tranny.

Hi to all,
I have no idea why, but when I put it in reverse it soon locks up.  What is
it?
I took them apart on both sides and all is great other than the drums are 20
thou oversized already and having deep ridges both sides.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks God to the Vanagon List,
Zoltan
