| Post subject: | Wheel Hop in reverse |
When I try to back up an incline, I get some serious wheel hop. I was told this was caused by "hot" spots on the flywheel or a warped flywheel. Is this correct? Some days I don't think I will be able to back out of a parking spot. I don't experience it going forward, it only happens in reverse. It's all about pre-planning.

Wheel hop is a suspension issue. |

Does the clutch chatter going forward? Read through clutch troubleshooting in the FSM and it will give you a lot to think about including bad engine mounts. |

Early Mopars have the axle mounted off-center on the spring with the shorter section ahead of the axle and the longer section trailing. This design is good for resisting the tendency of the axle to twist and "wrap" the spring during a hard start, thus reducing wheel hop under hard acceleration. In reverse gear the geometry would be reversed and the longer section would be more prone to wrapping. A chattering clutch or broken rear transmission mount might exagerate the effect too. |

I will check it out this weekend. I'll just keep pre-planning my parking. Thanks for the help. I'll keep you posted on what I find out. |
