The emergency brake on your 1992 cutlass sounds like it is releasing when you pull the release knob but car still wont move put in drive goes reverse What could be wrong?

There are a few possible reasons why your car won't move when you put it in drive, but the emergency brake still sounds like it's releasing. Here are a few things to check:

1. Check the brake fluid level. If the brake fluid level is low, it could cause the emergency brake to not release properly. Check the brake fluid reservoir, which is usually located under the hood of your car. If the fluid level is low, add brake fluid until it reaches the "Full" mark.

2. Check the parking brake cable. The parking brake cable is what connects the emergency brake lever to the brakes. If the cable is broken, it could cause the emergency brake to not release properly. Inspect the parking brake cable for any damage or fraying. If the cable is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

3. Check the brake pads and rotors. If the brake pads are worn out or the rotors are warped, it could cause the car to not move when you put it in drive. Inspect the brake pads and rotors for any damage or wear. If the brake pads are worn out, they will need to be replaced. If the rotors are warped, they will need to be machined or replaced.

4. Check the transmission fluid level. If the transmission fluid level is low, it could cause the car to not move when you put it in drive. Check the transmission fluid level, which is usually located near the bottom of the engine. If the fluid level is low, add transmission fluid until it reaches the "Full" mark.

If you have checked all of these things and the car still won't move, it's best to take it to a mechanic for further diagnosis.
