Trac Lok is acting up

[Quik03GT]

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!

On curves one wheel will spin.

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.

Too early for them to be worn out... agreed.

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.

Lets not talk about broken traction locks

<- 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.
