brake problems on my 1997 honda city

guys, i need you help and expertise.
yung city ko para kasing palaging nakaengage yung brake. kailangan kong apakan ng malakas ang gas at 1st gear para magmove yung car. ang bagal talaga tumakbo ng car kahit mataas na yung rpm. at tuwing magfufull stop na i-glide ko yung car at neutral habang nakaready yung paa ko sa brakes at bigla na lang siya hihinto at a very low speed, feeling ko nakabrakes na ako. at pag nakastop ako sa medyo paangat na kalsada eh di naman siya umaatras kahit na walang hand brakes at nakaneutral at di ko inaapakan ang brakes as in wala lahat. parang may "invisible" brakes na palaging nakaengage. ano po kaya ang problem nito? sa tingin nyo may problem kaya ito sa transmission ko? napalinis ko na pala ang mga brakes nito yung drum sa likod at calipers sa front pero same pa rin.

Wala sa transmission ang problema, naninikit ang brakes mo kaya ayaw nya umunsad. Baka may kalawang na ang piston or may blockage sa linya ng brake fluid. Ibalik mo kung saan ka nagpalinis ng preno. Or ipatingin mo sa ibang brake specialist.

baka naman sobra ang adjustment ng handbrake? o di kaya stock up ang piston ng brake cylinders mo?

Agree on this, send back your car to where you have your brakes serviced.

pinalinis ko ang mga brakes ko after ko nafeel ang problem pero ganon pa rin. pacheck ko nga ulit ko lahat ng parts at lines sa brakes. ano pa kaya possible reason bakit nangyari ito?
salamat sa mga replies ninyo.

Nangyari lang ba ito pagkatapos mong magpalinis ng brake system?

dragging brakes. this should be fairly easy. first, let's see which of the brakes are dragging. after a 5-10 km drive, feel your wheels. dragging brakes cause an overly warmer/hot wheel. causes have been mentioned above. btw, some cars have free play in their brake pedals. if this free play disappears, the master cylinder will be in a perennial semi-brake.
and if it ain't the brakes, mebbe it's the wheel bearings.

might be bearings also, pero kung sa bearing naman, dapat iingay yan..mahina man o malakas bago magstock up....o d kaya me free play...

the car is 13 years old, have the flexible brake lines (hoses) checked for "arterioschlerosis" retaining pressure after you have released the brake pedal. check the combination valve too. if the master cylinder had been repaired with a new piston, check the master cylinder push rod for proper length
