Not really, but it just scares the sh** out of me. Knowing myself, I'll be putting the summer tires back on and burning some rubber with them and the last thing I need at this time is to blow my clutch.

65k miles on the clutch...u may wanna change it out anyways, just my opinion...if you change your tires as cliffy suggested and this continues id prolly just grab a new clutch and have the shop install the quadrant/firewall adjuster/adjustable cable...i got all of mine ford racing from a ford dealer for the same price as the steeda kit stangmods sells basically...the steeda kit is good though if the dealer near tries to rob you (i had to call around a few different dealers to get a good price). the only reason i went with the ford over the steeda is because the clutch i selected was a 2004 cobra clutch, so i figured id get it all from one place

yeah i mean, I might just try to get as much as I can out of this clutch, I'm in debt elimination mode right now. I told myself 2 summer tires (approx 500 installed/aligned) and thats it until all my CC's are paid off.

my tires never really make much noise...but then again that could be because my car is loud as hell.... i wouldnt put the tire spinning out of the question. Im with cliff honestly i cant think of a reason it would do that selectively....if you dont want to change the tires out, acctually shift to break that traction, thats how id test it, see if it feels normal. If your like me im too lazy to change the tires, and i know exactally what the car feels like burning rubber in 2nd. lol just a thought.
