I have been experiencing excessive left front wheel hopping on hard launches in first gear during the past months.
On another forum somone had suggested to check the shock as it may be dead, others have suggested a check the engine mountings. Since then I have replaced the shocks with Koni adjustables and found out the fron engine mounting was dead so I replaced that as well. However this did not help a lot and I am still heaving excessive wheel hopping on 1st gear hard launching. Has anyone experienced this before, I do not think this is normal as I had never had such a problem before. |

well
#1) wheel hop is when you launch and there is enough tq to accelerate the wheel fast enough to break STATIC traction once it goes kinetic you don't have enough power to continue the solid loss of traction aka spin since there isn't enough power to keep a solid spin with full loss of traction it will spin and grab spin and grab creating this "hopping" effect basically if you don't want it rev higher and drop the clutch faster or you need to practice launching better with a tiny bit lower in the RMP range so all you get is a slight chirp of the tires but NO loss of traction |
