Sometimes, not always when I brake slighty going into turns or come to a stop and start the crank the wheel either way such as at a stop sign. I can feel the the tranny gears or flywheel teeth thru the break pedal! I'll immeadetly let of the brakes and then it's fine any ideas with this never had anything like this before. Thanks.

The brakes are not connected to those parts; however, I believe you are feeling something. Does this happen as you are moving or stopped?

No, it's when I'm moving. I'll be braking sometimes, less than 10 mph turning or going straight and swear the tranny is connected to the brakes. I can feel the teeth revolutions thru the brake pedal. It'll scare you! Thanks.

I thing the ABS is actuating. Does it get harder to push the brake pedal? Does it feel like you loose control of the braking?

No it comes to a stop just fine. It's just that damn cogging type stuff on a metal gear thing. Like I said it's weird!
