Been driving it in the snow now and I notice every time I get home there's only snow build up behind the drivers side tire, NEVER behind the pass side. So today it was raining and I did a couple little burnouts from stop signs and it's ALWAYS the driver side spinning. I took a tight right turn and made it spin [which should ALWAYS engage the pass side] yet the drivers side was the one spinning. It is NEVER getting power. I'm not hearing any clicking like a bad axle would. What could be the culprit and what should I check out? |

the driver's side always gets power first.
It's the shorter axle with less resistance, it spins first. "smartass" ? that's just not right  don't be upset, it's the way a Celica s54 tranny works, maybe you should know that before you insult this site and the people on it first. -------------------- |

"smartass" ? that's just not right don't be upset, it's the way a Celica s54 tranny works, maybe you should know that before you insult this site and the people on it first. I did not know that, good info. How come the driver side axle is shorter? Am I the only one then who doesn't like the fact that the DS always spins? It pulls the car in odd directions sometimes. I didn't insult the site, this seems to be the spot for 6GCs and most of you have killer rides. I learn things by asking lots of questions. For some reason people get pissed off about this, but the explanations provided help me learn a lot of things I otherwise wouldn't know. So does this driver side always getting the most power affect the handling of the Celi's negatively? |
