when engine is cold, if i make a left turn from a starting
postion, when i accelerate you can hear the engine "race" but doesn't go into gear until after a few seconds, and then it "kicks" in quickly. only left turns and only when engine is cool.,

accelerating uphill with a slight bearing to the left - not going more than 20-25 mph - same thing????
