Default Help with Trac-lock diff?

When i first got my mach, if i would drop the clutch coming out of a turn, both tires would spin and it would fishtail nice and smooth. but now, it seems as if only one tire spins and the other will hook then spin and the other will hook. This can get real jerky. Last time i took my mach in for warranty work, i asked them to check out the diff and they said it was within spec. If i dump the clutch going striaght both tires spin and things seem normal. So i am thinking that something is wrong with the trac lock. I dont think ford is going to help me out on this.

Has anyone else had this problem?
Would it be hard to inspect myself?
What tools and supplies would i need?
What should i look for?

Ok, the clutch packs in the rear end of Mustangs have to be adjusted all the time! You can make them tighter with different shims. Seems to me like they are getting loose and not catching as good as they used to. Its not anytihng you want to mess with. Also i would put a bottle of adative in the rear end. Might not have been put in at factory.
