remove traction control with no button???

Anyway this can be done? If I stomp the pedal in 2nd I can spin all day, but it's very *bumpy* only way i can explain it. The back end just feels like it can't handle it at all. It def feels like traction control to me. But maybe i'm misdiagnosing??? Any help would be appreciated.

If you don't have a button labeled TCS, you don't have traction control. You might be losing the transmission.

I agree with GatorB8, wheel hop seem the most logical.

I think both suggestions listed could be possible, hopefully its axle wrap/wheel hop. Ever have the case where RPMs pick up and your speed does not (or slower than it should)....if so it it may be the tranny. If not, see about getting some traction bars or something similar.

I don't have any tranny issues. I keep all that stuff top notch up to date. Only issue I have is no traction. After reading up on wheel hop. That is def what my problem is. Now I just need to figure out how to solve it. Are traction bars really going to make a difference?

They will keep the axles from twisting the leafs, thus helping eliminate the wrapping effect.
