Can you be more specific about the nature of the problem? Did it work before, then quit? Did you buy it used and it's never worked? There are a lot of people on this forum who could help if you provide more information.

Need lots more specific info. Is the front slipping? Is the back slipping (a surprisingly frequent problem with this model!)? Do the drive shafts turn??? Etc., etc....

You have probably stripped the splines on the rear drive shaft. There have been a few posts on this lately. Appearently it gets no lube and the splines rust then strip easily. I will try to find a post for you with more information....

It sounds like either a part was left out or put back on incorrectly when you did the rear brake service, though I don't know how a rear brake service could disable the rear wheel drive.

There are some certified Honda mechanics on this forum who should have a better idea of what the problem could be, so hang in there and hopefully more specific help will be forthcoming.
