I totally concede the poor traction with the 50/50 weight distribution of a
tintop T3.  It's been a constant source of frustration for me.  I'm
presently readying to pull the trans in preps for a TDI install, and it's
definitely getting a TBD, along with the new highway gears.  Should make it
a much more pleasant driving experience all around.
