like when i first start it and drive for a little its all good, but when everything gets warm, it hops like a ****. i dont know what it could be??? driveshaft??? or the clutch disk? its new!!!



also when going at least 30mph wheni hit the gas the car jolts to the right, and when i let off it goews back to the left??? wierd ****. like the whole car twists to the right and then when i let off comes back to its original position, any help???????



TIA

regarding clutch, did you have the flywheel resurfaced or replaced?



the odd steering, check your DTSS (RRWS - random rear wheel steering) bushings, and check your rear wheel bearings.

This part sounds familiar since you have a GXL which has LSD. When my LSD was going south, the car would pull to the left from the rear when i hit the gas hard and when I let go it would come back to the right.
