Driving a hot Camaro, its not unusual to have friends who want you to "smoke them up" Ever since I got these new Fuzion HRi's my tires refuse to spin. Even pulling out of a parking lot or something with the wheel cut all the way in one direction i may get a small chirp but nothing more. Flooring it from a stop gives me a very violent shaking and loud noises. So tell me, is it just where my tires are new? Or is there something wrong?

If im pulling out of a parking lot with my wheel cut ALL THE WAY, i can burn mine for a few seconds. If im at a stop light on dry gound pointing straight, it will chirp. I dont know much about tires but mine are new yokahma yk420...i dont know if that spelling is correct. As long as the car runs and idles good i would not worry about it.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2245261\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2245261</a> Green 1997, 105k, all stock except for Z28 front springs, Air shocks in the rear, home made coolant recovery tank, home made battery hold down. -
If you guys are running 245s or smaller and having trouble spinning the tires... something is going on with your car.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>Comment

AMEN!Originally posted by shenanigans:

If you have a M5, I'd replace the clutch. If an auto, I'd have it serviced. If there are no probs with the trans in general, I'd give the engine a full tuneup.
I got 275-40-17's (without a lot of mods) and I can STILL light the tires up with my V6!sigpicComment

Might want to check your transmission mount. Having one that's shot can hamper burnouts.1998 M5 3.8 Mystic Teal Camaro<br />Flowmaster exhaust, Pacesetter headers, 3\" cat, 3\" S-pipe, whisper lid, ram air, Spec Stage 1 clutch, Poly Trans mount, Walbro 255LPH.

Ok, you guys are going to have to take in easy on me with the drivetrain lingo. I know a little about engines, but hardly anything about trannys.
What are LCA's. And yeah, if I could describe the violent shaking, I'd say it was "hopping". Where can I find the transmission mount?
It is an A4, btw. And i've had my suspicions about my tranny being tired...damn...maybe it is time.1998 Camaro V6 \"Black Mamba\"<br />Y87<br />Whisper Lid w/ K&N filter<br />Flowmaster American Thunder<br />Numerous appearance mods.<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2154172\" target=\"_blank\">Car Domain</a>Comment

LCA stands for lower control arm. You can order a new quality tranny mount from NAPA.Originally posted by Greg94Red392:

If you jack up a bit on your transmission, you will be able to tell if the piece mounting it to the cross-member (tranny mount) has failed. It should be all in one piece without any deep cracks.1998 M5 3.8 Mystic Teal Camaro<br />Flowmaster exhaust, Pacesetter headers, 3\" cat, 3\" S-pipe, whisper lid, ram air, Spec Stage 1 clutch, Poly Trans mount, Walbro 255LPH.

check your tire pressure... the more you have, the easier it'll be to spin 'em
I like 35 psi, gives decent fuel mileage and normal tire wear.

espically when you have to dump the clutch or go arround a corner to get them spinning.Laying rubber is not as cool as 17 year olds think it is.Comment
