Left 2 strips when i did a burnout???

I dont know why this happened. I know that I dont have VLSD because i just replaced my tranny in the begining of January and tilley told me that it wasnt VLSD. What would cause this? I took a picture but its only my cell phone and i dont have text or picture messages at all so i cant show everyone.

That will happen with an Open Diff Tranny, not every time, but in optimal conditions, it will....

Ok that makes me feel alittle better because i know the reason it did that but not better because it just reminded me again that i dont have VLSD.

my max does the same thing. The initial spike of torque when you dump the clutch doesn't give either tire a chance to hook up, so it'll burn both for a while. Usually I get posi strips for a while until one tire hooks up, then it's all one tire fire, lol. My e-brake will lock the rear tires, but the car has so much torque, that it just drags the back tires with it. The result is a really odd looking burnout.

Easy way to know if you have VLSD is jack up crossmember and spin one wheel, the other wheel should move as well. Or check the firewall trans code, but many 10 year old cars have a new trans. The wheel spin doesn't lie it either works or doesn't. VLSD is the shiznit
