Hey guys, my Trac Lok seems to be having issues lately. If I nail it in a straight line, MOST of the time it will leave two strips. Sometimes when I nail it on a turn ( I know you shouldn't do this) I'll only get a one legger. Is this "normal" operation for a trac lok? Or is it time for the clutch packs to be shimmed/replaced?


Thanks in advance!

So new clutches probably wouldnt help anything? The car only has 28k miles on it, seems a little early for them to be worn out already.

nailing it around corners liek that wil cause excessive wear on the traction-lok

but what you are describing is normal. doughnuts are the worse don't ever do those.

<- Never done a doughnut on dry pavement. What fun is that? Do it in the snow for crying out loud. Don't have snow in your area? Don't do doughnuts.
