Default Only one stripe?

Got a 1998 TA automatic, from the code on the door (GU2) it has the 2.73s, with traction control. When I turn the tcs off and do a burnout, only one wheel leaves mark. I would expect both to spin, whats up with that?

The Auburn differential is probably worn out. How many miles on the car?

Change the oil and see what differential you have while the cover is off. Maybe even take a pic, you can also see if there is play in the small spider gears while it's apart.

So Im going to change my Rear end fluid in the next couple of days.
Im having no problems with the rear except only one wheel spins when I burn out on the road.
Is there anything I would be able to see (not knowing anything about differentials) inside there that could be causing this?
or should I just take it and have it looked at?
Oh also, my speedo is off, and I was told the only way it could be off is if the previous owner changed something in the rear?
