Default why only 1 wheel spinning?

When I do a burnout I am only leaving one tire mark. I have seen other mustangs do burnouts and both wheels spin. I have an '03 GT with a few bolt-ons.

Sounds like your diff isn't working right. It may be time to rebuild the clutch pack.[:@]

I have stock gears. I bought the car with 7,000 miles on it, and it has less than 14k on it now. Weird

Posi = chevy, tractionLok=Ford. Anyway,it sounds like your rear end is workin right. Take it back to the dealer, it should still be under warranty. Tell them on wet (slippery) surfaces you have trouble gettin goin and that only one tire is spinning. Its possible they stuck the wrong center section in your car. Not probable, but not impossible either.

That's odd, I have the same situation. I have an automatic and when I would get on it around corners my passenger tire would only spin. Now when I push the brake in and romp the gas both wheels spin. [sm=dontgetit.gif]
