Evo Pulls Left

ok my evo is just pretty much broken in now i got abot 1500 on the odometer, and i just started laying into it. I let it get up to about 6 and shifted to second and the car jerked left, i though i slipped up with the wheel but continued brought it to about 5500 or so in second car kinda jerked again to the left, so i brought it up to about 4500 in third but with plenty of throtle down i mean like 85- 90% and let off and pushed the clutch in still jerked but not as hard. So bottom line is when ever i open it up and shift the car jerks left not jarrasicly but enough that i notice it. is this normal. If i just let off the gas without pushing the clutch in and leave it in gear it doesn do it, I only did that twice just to see if it would jerk.

are you like switching gears with your right hand while your left hand pulls the wheel to the left causing your car to jerk to the left? I was like that (Evo my first stick) when trying to drive agressive on twisties lol

What does "jarrasicly" mean? That isn't a word and doesn't resemble any word I know. Do you mean drastically? Is so, that's not even close. The language skills on this board are amazing.

My Evo used to jerk to the left. Turned out I had a nail in my left rear tire and it was low. Also check your alignment.

ok the car is brand new and i have been driving manual since i was 12, and on the road daily since i was 16, so i think i can drive stick. No my Evo isn't GG it is silver, yes i drive on 21 though. It oly pulls when i put the clucht in and let off the throtle, it drives straight otherwise.

ive got a 06 evo with only 500 miles and mine seems to veer slightly to the left when you let off the steering wheel. is this normal? i know the steering feels very sensitive compared to any car i have driven before... is this just the awd and the car followong bumps etc in the roads, or does it sound like somethings wrong from the factory? it has done it when going straight on the freeway also, just slowly veers left...how could the alignment be messed up?? the car is brand new...

mine pulls left sometimes, it could also be because of a slanted road
