Downshift = wheels spinning?
So I was wondering why when I've got the car in 3rd or 4th/OD (OD might not be it...whatever it is) and I shift down to 2nd it sounds like my wheels are spinning and burning out? Never had this happen on my newer cars.
As far as I know I've got a 700R4 with unknown gears and an LG4 305.

Well i have no idea what would cause that, but when i got my car, the TV cable was set to tight at idle that when i put it in drive it chirped the tires.
Maybe reset your TV cable?

Re: Downshift = wheels spinning?
Theres no way your doing that at normal speeds. Are you downshifting you car at some ridiculous speeds ?

Re: Downshift = wheels spinning?
I only drive my car a couple blocks because it's not inspected. This is at no more then 30mph and probably more like 20 or so. My speedo is off a bit so I"m not sure to be exact. My tires aren't bald and it's not raining.
