Default Rear wheel slipping...

So, I'm standing still at a red light and when the light turned green, I accelerated and my rear right wheel started "slipping"... basically getting no grip. After a second I got grip and took off normally.

I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a manhole cover. So I figured my tire was on that manhole cover when I took off and the tire wasn't getting any grip on the wet metal. As soon as it came off the metal and got on the road, the tire "got grip" again.

My question is: can only one side of the rear wheel slip like that?

It's called an open differential (no limited slip). It's ok, you're just keepin' it real with the one wheel peel.

Opt. code 220 is what you want. You may have it and not have the correct additive in your tranny fluid to make it work.

LSDA stinks something horrid.
