Wheel Hop

I was just wodnering how much wheel hop is necessary to cause damage, cause I was pulling offa light the other day and it had been raining and the tires spun and start to hop, for maybe a second at best (thatd be stretching it),

Wasnt racing, just was not used to the clutch yet, my old car had a cable clutch so it was insanely different. Im just worried with all the problems these trannies are having I might have hurt something,

even more so worried with GM callin any wheel hop damage abuse. ********

No it sould be fine. Ive must have done it a hundred times and no damage. I could see you breaking something if you dumped the clutch real high and attempted to wheel hop.

EDIT: Blackie below is right, lay off the throttle if you start hopping.
