What Gear..For Getting Out of Snow..?
You know when you got your wheels spinning in the snow, trying to get out..? Well, what should i leave my AT in..?
 I'm guessing D1-to keep it in first so it doesn't climb through the gears..?  Another thing, does spinning your wheels in the snow have the same BAD effects on your diff and diff fluid (and everything else/tranny/engine etc) as doing a burnout on dry pavement..? My friend told me never to spin my wheels in the snow, even if i'm stuck, cause it's really bad for the car.  PS, one thing i know now...is leave the traction control off when they are spinning-sheesh.....

try D2
I have heard that D2 will give the wheels less torque and less chance of spinning when starting. And i think burning out in the snow is the most fun u can have with a T-Bird so just have some fun.

Re: What Gear..For Getting Out of Snow..?
More power will be going to the wheels with it in first I wouldn't bother doing any thing like that because it would probably just make you spin worse.

Re: What Gear..For Getting Out of Snow..?
when stuck in snow just rock your car back and forth(forward&reverse)keeping the car moving till it feels like good momentom in one direction then stay on it steady til the car comes out...

Thanks INNES. Yeah i finally got used to the "getting out of snow" dilema...
 Pissed off cause today, while getting out of my lot, i must have hit a small pile of snow cause my drivers side fog light cracked-it looks horrid. Man, i spent like an hour hooking these lights to my car...
