Icon5 Car won't move forward even in neutral, does move backwards.

Hello all,

My car wont move forward when put in neutral or any forward gear (1-5) but can be pushed rearward in neutral, and reverses when placed in reverse gear.

Bit of backstory on what i noticed prior to the issues occurring.

98 Honda Civic with B-series engine & transmission
Clutch, slave, master replaced less than 2 years ago
  • Recently changed out oem motor mounts for polyurethane mounts
  • The clutch pedal was soft
  • Clutch pedal sat maybe halfway through the pedals typical range of motion, instead of in line with the brake and gas pedal.
  • ON highway, heard two noise on two separate occasions that sounded like a loose bolt or something falling off and out into the road? (could of be unrelated but thought id mention)
  • Front of car eventually began vibrating , and the vibration intensified as I continued driving the car
  • Eventually the vibration at the front of the car became concerning and I pulled over and the car stalled out
  • turned car back on and tried putting car into a forward gear and it moved slightly and seemed to come to a halt, almost as if bumping up against a parking curb?
  • Tried all forward gears (1-5) and issue present in all gears.
  • Put the car in neutral and attempted to push it forward to move it out of the way of traffic and it would move forward slightly, before it would resist forward movement.
  • While in neutral I tried pushing it rearward and car moves just fine.
  • Put car in reverse gear and car accelerates backwards like normal.
  • Engine revs freely
  • motor mount bolts are all intact and tight
  • No large fluid leaks from engine or transmission
  • couldn't really spot anything that would impede the car from moving
Any thoughts on what the issue could be?

I'm going to lift the car tomorrow to take a look.

Thanks in advance?

Check the brake caliper if they came loose

Did you ever find what was wrong because I’m going thru the same thing right now.
