So the other day i was driving, going from a stop i start to go. First gear is engaged then i floor it, when i floored it the car made this loud dun dun dun noise. Is it just wheel spin? or is it just driver error?

That is wheel hop

Is that bad for the car?

Black07LS

It can **** up your trani and drive shafts

Trani mount bushings and a ingalls stiffy or solid motor mount will help stop wheel hop

Or if you watch youtube and search for snapped axle then u will see what it can do

that sir is wheel hop. not good for ur axles got to be careful with that. dont throttle ur car in first gear will help eliminate wheel hop

Step out of the car and hand your father back the keys.

Gotta love this zoo.

Just feather the clutch and pedal in first. Don't stomp it in first especially if wet

It doesn't always happen, but if it starts get off the gas immediately!

feather the clutch?

Yah like let it out easy. Push it in a lil if your hopping. Dont drop it.

if the clutch is all the way in you get no drag on the transmission and go nowhere. Now if you let the clutch all the way out you should be fully engaged. So if you let the clutch out slower you will feel the clutch dragging or you are what is called feathering he clutch. Essentially you are not allowing he car to have full power to the transmission all at once. It produces a little more heat but it saves the axels if you wheel hop a lot.
