My little 302 it running real good. When I shift hard from 1st to 2nd it gives the initial chirp and grab. Then, a split second later it sometimes chirps the tires again. Like chirp - pause - chirp again.

Whats going on here? Am I getting axle wrap that chirps again after the suspension retracts?

How are these stock rear suspensions on axle wrap? Is it worth modifying to reduce it?

I always thought that only occurred with Leaf Spring Rears.

It's weird. I though I was hitting slick spots causing the secondary chirp. But it's too easy to reproduce.

Bark.....pause.....bark again. The second one is slightly longer.

Maybe the clutch is slipping and grabbing again? I dont know.
