Re: wheel hop after trany replacement
Sounds like your tranny is binding

Re: wheel hop after trany replacement
I had a rebuilt trans and it gave these kind of symptoms when "fresh"
This is how the trans engineer cured the problem: In a safe enclosed yard he ran the car very quickly up and down the yard in forward and reverse. Not quite standing quarter launch, but smartish. A good number of times. Then he did the figure of eight for a bit in both directions. The theory behind it is the new friction materials on the clutches have not smoothed in to their normal working state. Giving them a bit of a hard run in all directions helps them to bed in and get smooth. If you still have problems after doing this, you might need to go back to the guy and have him check the electric clutch pack at the rear of the box. Hope this helps Joe

Re: wheel hop after trany replacement
Thanks guys, I should have mentioned that the trany I just put in was from my parts car I had. the trany was rebuilt 10k ago ( motor ran out of oil, son never checked it) & it worked fine when parked. It has to do with the revolutions of 1 wheel to another. (inside wheel turns less revelutions than the outside one). Remember now the first time I had rebuilt the trany the tech told me the same thing do figure 8's but did'nt explain why.

Re: wheel hop after trany replacement

Re: wheel hop after trany replacement
Agreed, its binding up. Have you tried putting in the FWD fuse and see if that prevents it?
