Tires stutter until popping in gear

[Xemawth]

Hi there,

I need some help diagnosing an issue with my Satsuma.

I have assembled the car, and it runs in neutral with everything fully tuned up. (dist, valves, carb). As soon as I put the car in gear (with clutch disengaged(pushed in)) both front wheels stutter and squeal until they burst. I can move the car using it's own power but it is very sluggish.

I have tried everything I can think of to solve the problem, but since the wheels basically instantly burst I have no troubleshooting time.

I have verified: the clutch is working, gear linkage is attached, final drive gear is fine, transmission is attached, halfshafts are correctly attached.

I saw a forum thread from 5 years ago where someone solved the issue, but the solution points to dead link.

Any help would be seriously appreciated.

Thank you.

For anyone having a similar issue I think I solved the problem:

If you have taken a break, and come back to the game, the tires you acquire from the abandoned house come with VERY low wear life to start.

The stutter and squealing I was hearing was because of a combination of playing with a G920 steering wheel, and really bad alignment.

For the G920 I have to have to use autoclutch combined with a funky deadzone to get manual shifting with an H-pattern to work correctly. The autoclutch prevents the car from stalling by disengaging the clutch when the car is near stalling. Because my alignment was so bad on the car, moving the car at all would cause the tires to squeal, slowing the car, and triggering the autoclutch. This caused the autoclutch to engage and disengage rapidly while in gear. Therefore the autoclutch rapidly engaged and disnegaged my clutch, squealing my tires, and as a result damaged and popped them.

I figured I would post my solution in hopes that this helps someone else.

Cheers
