How do I find out if my Positraction is working?
Do a burnout. If you have two patches of rubber, it probably works! 🙂 Or, jack up one rear wheel, leaving the other on the ground–make sure the car is in neutral and the parking brake is OFF. Next, chock the front wheels so that the car WILL NOT move. Then, using a torque wrench, attempt to turn the raised rear wheel. At some torque value (“breakaway torque”), the wheel will start to turn. If this value is above 60-70 ft*lbs then you’re OK. Otherwise, try changing your fluid (see question 3.9). If that still doesn’t help, it’s malfunctioning.
