well i havent got title yet the motor looks the same as in my other mustang guy said 4 cyl but it has 8 plugs?? and i do not think the it is stickin b/c it will take off fine. normal car just when it gets a few feet it locks up really bad and the driver wheel will start to turn backwards if in first and if in reverse the back will lock all together. the cable is not too tight it acts normal to me.

its a 91-93 2.3L with the dual plug head

its either your rear brakes, or your rear gears

does the car stall and die when this happens?

or go to the junkyard, and grab another 4 cylinder mustang rear. Grab one from an 87-93 automatic car, they had 3.73s in the rear
