Traction control

[Al Hazz]

I have a 2000 T/A and it doesnt have the Traction control switch, how can i turn it off? because it feels really slow sometimes when i gun it. the guy i work for has a 2001 formula with the switch and when u turn it off it goes like hell.

i think you answered your own question....

[Al Hazz]

i mean, is there anything i can unplug or do i have to get a switch and wire it all up

If you don't have the switch you don't have traction control. ASR/TCS cars have RPO NW9 on the door.

if you dont have a traction control switch then you dont have traction control

[Al Hazz]

I thought all of the trans am after 1998 had traction control!

[Benner]

If you have 2.73s, it might make you think your car is slow until it gets moving.......

What gears do you and the Formula have? If you have 2.73's and he has 3.73's then it isn't a traction control problem at all. Its due to him being lighter, and having the better gears installed. You can check the gears from the RPO sticker. A Formula with 3.73's can take you for a walk if your TA has 2.73's. Depending on the driver too he could also take you for car lengths if you don't have the experience.

How do you know what gears a car has?

Look at the RPO codes on the driver door.

GU2=2:73s
GU5=3:23s
GU6=3:42s

Thanks y2k, I found out that I have gu4 which are 3.08s. How good are these gears?

Ok, I looked at mine, I have GU6s on my 2001 Formula. Since mine gets up and goes like hell....lol, just teasing....I assume its the better of the 3?

Yeah the higher the ratio the better.

[SAGGIN]

if you dont have a traction control switch then you dont have traction control

UHHH DUH

[muteki]

Yeah the higher the ratio the better.

Thank you for enlightening me.

I didn't think that ratio was available on a '98 F-body?? do you have an auto or manual trans?
