im stumped but i know i shouldnt be...

RedDaemon · Oct 15, 2006

i just got back from dropping someone off at their house(thats a whole different story all together) and when i left their house i decided to get on it. i hit all my shifts perfectly however when i get into second gear my tire broke loose...yes just one..on my passengers side.

do i have a v6 with a gt engine?

(KT this is when u chime in and tell me about my shocks and struts )

idk what to say i mean if my suspension was so bad wouldnt they both break loose? why would one stick

it was the wierdest sensation i cant even describe to u guys/gals what it felt like

Maybe it is time for a new clutch pack in the rear diff .One wheel peel!!
Was this the first time??

If you are going aroung a corner when they brake loose it is common to get one wheel peel. If you are moving in a straight line they should both break loose. How many miles on the rear end?

It don't sound good. I think Mike posted a few times a way to verify the clutch packs...

im hoping that that is what it is. a fluke

But if the rear end does it ALL the time, the clutches are prolly gone. If that's the case, you should just get a whole new differential and axles. Because a shop would probably charge you $200 to install the new clutches. And if you got the extra cash, you might as well make your rear end stronger. 31 spline moser axles baby

the 200 id save from bringing it to a shop could almost cover the cost of those 31 splines...260 bucks for ford racing 31 spines ..idk tho ford racing is good but i like the sound of moser lol

If you don't want to do a clutch pack rebuild, I do have a 28 spline open diff with a mini-spool in it that I will let go for cheap

It's pretty easy to do the clutches in the rear. I just did the ones in my buddy's Cougar, and it only took about two hours, including throwing some 4.10s in. If you've got a nice tall set of jackstands, a full socket set, and a torque wrench, you can do it yourself.

the only thing is. how imperative is it that i replace it IF it has gone bad?

its becomming the winter time so its not gunna be seeing a lot of road until next spring

im not going to the track or anything..and i dont street race

is it okay for me to let it go for the time being (assuming its bad)?

the famous question: "what could possibly happen?"

RedDaemon · Oct 15, 2006

yea so i went out again...wound 1st up to about 5k and slammed it into 2nd...got the one wheel peel on the passengers side again

maybe i should just drive my v6 instead

1low03gt · Oct 15, 2006

It's not a big deal in the sence you would have to fix it like right now.You will be alright til you bring 'er out next year.

wait a second...if only one wheel peels...does that mean im only gettin power to that one wheel?

what does it actually imply?

Evenflow · Oct 15, 2006

I did a one wheel peel out the other night after work.

04 GT w/ 9K on the clock, maybe I just suck at doing burn outs :SNSign:
