    When you drop the v6 the axles bind. There is a washer trick that works for some, but it didn't for me and a few other members. Get to your axles and put a washer on the end of both. I don't remember what size washer, but there are a couple threads on here with more info.

    I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.

    mine shifts kinda hard out of park to, and i noticed my back mount aint that great.

    So that could have something to do with it!

    this thread begs the question
    can axle binding occur when the car is lowered via coil overs?

    When I lowered my legnum, I had this. Found to be the inner cv was buggered. Replaced that and all good again. Apparently it's a common thing, and only really noticable on the drop.

    You could have mixture of both.The mounts would cause your motor to rock if they are bad.The axle could be binding to like everyone said and that would cause your problem on acceleration.

    Answer...yes...documented thoroughly




    Resolution has already been said. Washer needs to be 1/8" thick and fit over the axle (like 2 1/16" inside diameter or something I will have to dig that up again).
