How much do you weigh?

Not being a Richard but if you are much over 200 and have older shocks you may be getting enough weight transfer to keep traction, these motors are not torque monsters down low, and have a nice big contact patch, what RPM are we talking about?

I weigh 150 and was hitting like 5700 rpm in 1st at like 5 mph. The surface might have been slightly uneven but still it didnt slide out anything like turning left like i was expecting it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your car should turn sharper to one side.

this thread makes no sense to me

I would guess it's just your imagination, but i dont know much of anything about differentials, or even the differences between them all.

so my post was worthless

its freakin wierd, i turn TCS off, turn left and floor it in 1st and slide

turn right and floor it and one tire burnsout while i hit redline and i dont slide....

it does seem like i have a non LSD.. not sure how this would happen, but i did buy the car with 75k on it...

yea that would fix it, but that one is 31 spline which requires 31spline axles as well. you would either have to get a pair or 31s axles with it or get the 28 spline differential instead.
