Sometimes the TC catches it quickly and other times it can tack a split second longer. I have to say it's a hell of alot better than my AU fairmont TC it just use to cut off all power until you regained grip, very scary sometimes.

curious Member 504 Member For: 21y 5m 17d Location: sun, beach and plenty of T T's Posted 02/03/04 06:40 AM Share Posted 02/03/04 06:40 AM TC is dodgy, it really upsets the weight distribution in the car and that's what makes it ugly. The problem with the Ford TC is it is inconsistent, therefor you cannot rely on it.The one benfit for it is that it gets you out of muddy bogs with a smooth applicaton of power and not digging a huge hole.
