I drove the car today and got into 10psi and I notice the car felt like it was going in one direction real hard. Then I heard some thud like noise from the axels or trans when I was turning. I drove it home easy as possible and check real quick. Then decided to pop the hood and I free reved it and nothing coming from the trans that I could hear.

So I went for a drive and reved it to 4500 in 1st with no boost and it was fine. So I did a light 2nd gear pull and up top it felt like wheel hop or I was spinning them. No leaks it still pulls hard. So I did a hard pull with the same results, power is there but the car feels like it hopping or spinning in the drivetrain or axels?

1st gear roll it just feels like the clutch was slipping and felt like I was spinning and yeah. I havea 2900 sprung 6 puck witha OEM Trow out bearing with 3k on it and a TRE stage 2 with some extra with 3k on it.

Before I pull the dust sheild to check the flywheel can somone give me some ideas.
 
Well I launched the car at 4k and it spun the front wheels like a honda!!!

I am guessing center diff. I was told by a frined thats the only thing it could be. :barf:

But if the fronts are spinning then is it for sure the center diff?
