Default low trac continued....

when I'm racing, and I shift right at redline low trac light comes on and it locks my rearend up or transmission I don't know, but it does sound like the rearend or tranny is just going to fall off. I'm going say100 mph, shift then lowtrac comes on and it locks up and slows my car down. the car literaly sounds like its gonna lose the tranny. I searched the site on this, but found nothing.
so my main question is, how do u disable low trac. or if I use the predator and increase the rev limit to 6500, and still shift at 6k will this help?
this is very frustrating because its happened when I race.

peace

Are you racing with traction control (ASR/TCS) turned on?

Dude, your TCS is on. There is no way that what you are describing is happening with it off. My car has the same characteristics when I drive it hard with the TCS on. It may say it is off........but for some reason it must still be activated. Are you getting a bog after the shift? Could just be a broken tranny mount if it's not bogging.

I have autocrossed mine before, and when I would get into the brakes or turns hard, the low trac light would come on. Shouldn't when your drag racing though.
