shift kit = no traction

really fun with down pouring rain and a decently sized hill,
shift kit = no traction once it shifted i couldn't go anywhere because the tires keep slipping when it shifted in the rain all to way to 3rd then i let off and did it again ... but i finally hooked
and made it, anyone else have this problem?
not that we drive in rain much

Transmission: TH400 4,000 stall
Axle/Gears: Currie 9", 4.56 gears
Only if I'm in the throttle too much. The higher stall converter really helps out to soften the shift when putting around But then again, I just usually get them spinning anyways cause it's more fun to go up a hill sideways

Close to the same prob here. Only thing is I don't need a hill. It got kinda scary 1st few times I drove in the rain, but now I lernt what and what not to do with this one.

If i'm in third gear (last gear with my th-400) running anywhere under 70 MPH on a damp road, and give it any more throttle than just resting my foot on it, it will break the tires free and start going sideways.

In 1st if I even touch the throttle more than just resting my foot on it, I won't be going anywhere. It will just sit there in one spot and spin the rear meats till I let all the way off the throttle
