Are you getting wheel hop?
Is the car lowered?
What kind of tires (size/brand) are you running?
Are you getting a thump noise under the shift console?

We need a little info on the car and what its doing or not doing so we can help.

you have a bad torque arm bushing. The torque arm mounts to the tailshaft housing on the trans.

The Spohn aftermarket torque arm assembly eliminates this mount point to the trans and repositions it to the frame via a solid trans crossmember. This is the hot setup. Check his website for pics.

Posi is going to be a BIG help. Are you just spinning or are you getting wheel hop?

Better LCA's will help, along with the torque arm and possibly LCA relocation brackets.
