Default diff pin woes?

i know that burn outs in a Neon is like a nono. but i've also heard that if you do it and u get both tires spinning then you have a way less chance of killing your tranny than u would if you only had one wheel spinning. how do you get it to do a 2 wheel spin? and this is in a 5-speed.

Limited slip Differential. I think either spud or das has just the Cheap phantom grip one and said at one time that they were supprised by it. You can also just take the stock diff pin out and put in Phantom grip diff pin that has the savers on them. the diff pin problem in neons aplly to them flying out of there location due to no pins or anything there just shoved in there and expected to stay. The phantom grip ones have a C-Clip on both sides to hold it in place now you would still be a one wheel wonder but you wont throw a diff pin.

i have done tons and tons of burnouts and never had any problems with the pin....
the phantom grip is cheap but works really well....for the price, i love it
usually atleast i know in any of my r/t's past and present, can almost always catch both tires in 1st and the bottom of 2nd gears

I know this story isn't about a Neon.... but my brother had a pin punch a hole andfly out of the transmission case on his old Plymouth2.5 Turbo Acclaim and it locked the right front tire up at 55mph.

the phantom grip is a limited slip "gripper" basically....when one wheel starts to spin, it grip the other and spins it as well....kinda like traction controll
