need help with traction problem

stang300a · May 23rd, 2008, 05:27 PM

ever since i got my 4.10s and t lock every time i floor my car and when it shifts from 1st to 2nd (auto) my rear end breaks loose. the tires chirp (which i dont mind) but then the rear feels like its about to slide. oh yea and thanks alot for telling me to get gears....i drove in the rain today and oh dang even with the traction on, my car was still burning out

. anyways my main questions is how do i make it where my rear doesn't feel so sloppy with out turning the shift pressure down on my sct. by the way i have 10.5 inch wheels on the back. will lowering the car with some eibach help?? thats what i was thinking for the next mod. what u guys think?

cliffs:
1. rear end breaks loose when shifting from 1st to 2nd. its an auto
2. what can i do to help my rear end feel more stable.

only advice i could give would be to be gentler on the gas lol

mine does it all the time. I'd suggest rear suspension upgrades like control arms and whatnot, but itll still break lose, especially from 1-2

try some drag radials, nitto 555's or some shit

DeMello · May 23rd, 2008, 06:20 PM

i know you know obdnar but in case the op doesnt the nitto drag radials are 555r not just 555

Onemanzu · May 23rd, 2008, 06:44 PM

Control arms and a tortion bar ... i think its a tortion bar... lemme go check for sure

Onemanzu · May 23rd, 2008, 06:46 PM

well im just saying if he is running street tires, he might want to get some drag raidials, it should help with his traction a bit hopefully

for street use?

thats a perfect idea!!

stang300a · May 23rd, 2008, 07:33 PM

yea i was thinking the nittos 555's will help but my tires are still good for now so i was waiting until they go bad before i buy those. but do u think by lowering it (eibach pros), which should give me a stiffer ride, will help with traction back there??

Onemanzu · May 23rd, 2008, 07:37 PM

nope lowering it won't do jack shit for your loss rear end

i was just saying...like you siad nitto 555s and drag radials

wasnt sure if he new he needed 555r if he wanted drs or not

b4 i didnt know their was a different and perhaps he didnt either

just trying to help

GreenFaleen · May 23rd, 2008, 08:32 PM

get some good tires, sub frame connectors, and pull back the shift pressure a bit on your x-cal, it will still shift at the same point but it will be less violent

stang300a · May 23rd, 2008, 09:24 PM

hmmm... subframe connectors sound like a good idea. i just need to find a place to install them for me without emptying my wallet.

HMUSN · May 23rd, 2008, 09:27 PM

it's like $100 to install them

im confused as to how having a stiffer chassis will help your rear end movement... start with lower control arms
