Looking for help with my new SS.
Sometimes when turning left and after Ive let the clutch out in first gear and begin rounding the corner, the car bucks in the rear to the passenger side briefly. Its like a wash out feeling. Its not overly noisey and the u joints are all good. It happens maybe 10% of the time, usually in an intersection. I havent owned the car long and wonder how staraight it is... gulp.
The motor mounts, tranny mounts and cross members and rear springs and hangers seem to be all fine so I pulled the rear wheels and disc brakes off and didnt find any thing there either.
I'm considering pulling apart the muncie next to look at the clutch and bearings.
Before I get crazy I hope someone knows these symptoms and can help figure this out.
Suggestions?

Not really sure what Id be looking for, but my dad hopefully remembers as he is helping me and has been in the car when its happened.
Are there any obvious checks or what should I be noticing once i pop off the cover?

Your clutches in the rearend are gummed up and snagging. Remove the diff cover and drain all the old worn out oil. Reinstall the cover and refill with gear oil (not synthetic) and a bottle of the additive. After that, take the car to an empty parking lot and do a bunch of easy figure 8's to get the oil worked into the clutches.
