What The F*$^ (Traction Problems)

If you're rough in 1st, jerk the car in between shifts, hit a bump or pot hole, etc., the slip lights will light up. It just means there is enough differential in speed of the wheels to trip the indicator, so it doesn't necessarily mean you're losing traction. When that happens, the car will try to correct itself by cutting power and apply braking where necessary.

It really is slipping though. However what you just stated it does happens at times, I know exactly what you talking about. Thanx a lot, that really helps. I'll try that
