Under full acceleration in first and shifting to second while in normal transmission mode (not manu-matic), why do I get a brief loss of traction and a quick torque steer to the left upon second gear engaing?

I saw a deep merlot colored 3.2 cl (non s) yesterday. Was that a factory color or custom? Just curious.

 

Wine colored ?? Not stock for an 03 (just checked the brochure)... I'm not sure about the 01's or 02's...

 

sounds like ur tranny is slipping, so when it engages, the engine torque pulls the wheel.
