    Default Pos. traction.

    My car was spinning both tires now only one and thats the drivers side. I did change the fluid in the tranny to full syn. because of that 3rd gear grind and it stopped. But now I have a problem with the pos. traction. I use to be able to jack the front of the car up and turn one side and the other will turn also but now I do this and the tire I turn is the only one moving. Any ideas?

    I have a 93 honda civic with ls swap turbo . The tranny is a 91 cable converterd to hydro. I have a problem also with it (I think) slipping when I really get on it in 2nd and 3rd gear. Now this so I dont know what it is. This was in another thread a couple of days ago.

    You have a GM rearend in your civic?!!

    As for the gearbox, manual transmissions don't "slip"...unless the gears are so worn down but serious doubt that will happen.

    Does it have a limited slip differential in it?

    Not sure on the limited slip but I know it use to lay down two black marks in first, second and third. It might have something to do with the clutch. I know its not be acting right with I really get on it 1st thru 3rd. It acts like its slipping.

    Have you ever owned a manual transmission car before? Have you ever owned a turbo'd vehicle? How much power is it putting down?

    Im not 100% sure 8200rpm is right because I dont have the dyno papers in front of me. I know when the rpms go up on the tach it goes passed 8000 if the tach is right.
