If I turn TRACTION CONTROL on or off...will this help BOTH WHEELS to spin together rather then 1 spinning and the other just rolling?

maybe your t-lok is worn out or maybe you weren't on flat ground.

it's the device that makes both rear wheels spin during a burnout or launch while also allowing the rear wheels to spin at different rates when you turn.

Traction Lock? is that the "T" in your T-Lok?

Would turning the Traction Control on or off help that or improve that?

Excessive amounts of fun.

Just keep it off until a rainy day comes along.

The Traction Control has NOTHING to do w/ 1 wheel spinning or not.. GT's have a "locked" rear end.. It is also mechanical, therefore, if you only have 1 wheel spinning, then your rear diff could be shot...


Traction Control, stop me if you've heard this one, cuts the spark to the engine, thus killing the engine's power, meaning: power to the wheels is cut, meaning, no more spinning....
