Fish tailing in T-Type

[wv-t]

Anyone else's turbo Buick fish tail when the tranny shifts from 1st gear to 2nd? Will body bracing like Kirban offers help?

Hmmmm WV-T... where are you?

Do you mean body fishtailing? unless all the body bushing are bad that's probably not going to happen. Of course if you mean no traction and hazing 2nd that is normal if it can. LOL

We call that "fun".

If you find it undesirable use the traction control setting in your right foot.

On the upper throttle body,drivers side, theres a Push Button for the tranny shift points,You can turn it down,Most Like the Second Gear Chrip or if in a corner Side-ways action in the rain...heh
If you mean fish tailing With-Out breaking the tires loose,Add urathane bushings an boxed control arms in the back

Enjoy!

If it really scares you, turn the boost down, another option would be to ditch the possi rear and go with a single drive, commonly known as a "peg leg". From exsperience when a peg leg goes up in smoke the car stays straight as a arrow, but you might see a black line on the road out your rear view mirror.

Drag radials

Mickey Thompson ET Streets will cure that.

Do a little research on the procedure for TV cable adjustment before tinkering with that. Can cause way more problems if performed incorrectly.

Do a search on drag radials. Lots of good choices out there.

There is no such thing as single drive. The power applied to each wheels is equal until one of them spins open diff or limited slip.
