Subject: DML: damage from spinning tires

I think everyone has missed one important component that probably
could/would get damaged before anything else, including the rear- the
transmission if it is an automatic. Already known as a weaker link in
the dodges, spinning a transmission that high of an rpm necessary to
smoke the tires for a decent amount of time also is the equivalent of
driving in that same gear with the tach buried, and I dont think its too
healthy. I'm sure most people have heard about being careful not to
spin the tires for extended periods when stuck on ice/snow-thats so you
dont toast the tranny.
  Any one else?
Patrick
