sup all. i got into my car today and forgot to put the stick in neutral from first gear and the e-brake was up. when i turned the ignition, the car jerked forward and stalled. i got out and looked at my brakes. the thin metal plate behind the rotor had a crumpled area. i checked the brake on the passenger side and the plate there too had the same crumpled area. should i got to the dealer and have them replace this thin metal plate ( i don't know what it is), or should i just forget about it. the car shifts and stops fine.

lol. thats funny. i think the thin metal plate i crumpled up is called the e-brake shoe or brake shoe. looked it up on hondaparts.com and it was like $35 for a set. i guess i'll just use the honda waranty.

well if it is stopping fine and what not I would just leave it. Unless it is making weird noises and what not.

umm aren't suppose to have your ebrake on? Dude you stalled we have all done it. It is ok to stall everyonce in awhile.

Wait a sec.... Don't you HAVE to push the clutch in to start the car? I do. It's a safety switch.

I have never heard of anyone messing up their ebrake before. Not by stalling, anyway.

I remember when I did that in my dad's car when I was learning to drive manual, had the e-brake on, and it was in first, started it, let off the clutch thinking it was in neutral, it jerks and dies, scared the **** outta me, i was like FAWWWWWKK!!!, im surprised dad wasnt pissed at me cause his car was still only a few weeks old..
o well, live and learn.. i've never made that mistake since then..

are you talking about the backing plate behind the rear drum??
they are meant to take alot more abuse than stalling your car in first. I think that crumpled area is supposed to be crumpled.

If you are looking at the front tires then that has nothing to do with the Ebrake.Our ebrake applies rear brakes only. Also, our front rotors have dust shields. These shields are bent on the bottom from the factory, I believe. You can do ebrake burnouts(not recommended) and not bend any brake stuff

yeah, you guys are right. i spoke to my cousin. i did the same thing to his RSX Type-S last year. the e-brake is only for the rear drums he said the crumpled plates in the front is supposed to be crumpled. i guess stalling is a part of life
