All I can tell ya is how mine works. new trac-loc w/ carbon fiber clutches and when I hit it on a turn the entire rear will slide. maybe you guys aren't making enough power for this to happen.(and I'm not trying to be a dick either by saying that)

It is strange, I actually remember taking a left and the back end did let loose on both tires, can only one side of the trac loc wear out quicker than the other (the clutches). How difficult is it to replace the trac loc clutches.

Repalcing the clutches is not that hard at all.

Thanks for the article Pro. Book marked that bad boy. I just changed the rear end fluids out to synthetic and put in new friction modifier.

Mine will kick out every time...if I only had one tire spinning I would think there is something wrong. Maybe your spring is getting weak?

I had mine rebuilt when I put the gears in. I had it made a bit stiffer (different configuration of the friction and reactor plates), but it'll kick sideways no matter what

you guys are weird[8D] ...the left tire disengages in turns, so if you turn left it will slide because all the weight/grip is going to the right tire wich is spinning... if you turn right it won't kick out as much because only the inside tire (right side) is spinning and the left is firmly planted... if both tires would spin, we'd all be in a ditch right now.
