You know, I'm still trying to figure this one out. I am convinced that the motor is shifting so in order to thorougly check the motor mounts, I want to remove them. In order to accomplish this, it looks like I need to pull the exhaust manifolds. My Haynes manual does not mention this. By the way, this manual has let me down on several other occasions and I think it is a useless POS. I wish I had a GM shop manual for this car. Regardless, I hate to open a potential can of worms.

I think I finally solved the mystery of the "shifting drive train" where I felt a stange motion in the gas pedal while accelerating out of a turn.I happened to watch a recent video by "Practical Car Guy" titled "C4 Corvette Quirks". It seems the ASR will "push back" on the gas pedal if it senses a wheel slipping. To test if this is the cause, all I have to do is cause the condition and then do it again with the ASR turned off.

You might also experiment with rear tire pressure. I was also having trouble with accelerating out of a turn. I had dropped my air pressure to 32 psi so try to eliminate excessive wheel spin and the back kicking hard to the left from launch. I increased it to 38 psi and it not only helped when cornering hard but now it launches hard and straight.
