Default Oh No!! i think i did a one wheel peel

hey guys just got back from the supermarket, as i pulled out of the parking lot i punched it and i think only the right wheel spun because the car didn't fishtail or anything [:@]. I hope this doesn't mean the clutches in my diff are shot, is there anything i can put in there to help them catch? btw my car has 60K miles on it

It's a limited slip. Occasionally, it's gonna to that, especially on wet pavement. Don't worry, you're probably fine.

a posi will eliminate that, but tight turns will make one wheel squeal in protest. The only advantage is at the strip.

You may get a little clutch slip if the car is at a lean and there is little pressure on the right rear. The right rear will also spin first as it is the actual driver tire.

Friction modifier does improve clutch function. The factory posi units are junk. If your chunk is still in good shape, carbon fiber clutches are the only way to go. The paper-thin sand paper ones aren't worthy purchasing again.
