A little background on when my issue started. I went to the drag strip two weekends ago and while launching the car, I felt a lot of vibrations until I snapped the rear driver side axle. When the axle snapped, the rpms shot up to 9k acting like a slipping clutch.
Now I bought some DSS level 2 axles and installed them. I took the car out and whenever I go WOT at a low speed, the car slips acting like a slipping clutch in a a manual. If I go WOT when starting at 60 mph or so, it will do a clean pull. I do have Kiggly 5 friction clutch pack installed but they have many drag events and street miles on them. The clutches have seen many 9 second and 10 second passes. Transmission fluid is full and has the kiggly mod. The car drives normal other than that slipping. This started the same pass that I broke my rear axle.
Now for my questions, does this sound like a worn clutch pack? Would this also cause a lot of vibrations while launching if it were slipping and catching? Could the clutches have slipped and caught again resulting in breaking the axle?
