Re: ASR

I was finally able to spin the tires on mine.  It was raining out and I
stopped on a hill.  I shut the ASR off and stepped on the gas.  Once I let
my foot off the clutch the tires just kept spinning.  They wouldn't stop, I
had to give in and let off the gas in order to go anywhere.  So I guess
that my ASR is working correctly now.  If I shut it off I get unrestricted
ability to spin the tires.  If it's on I barely here a squeak.  Sound
right?
