Default It only pulls right when the clultch is depressed?

That makes no sense considering the clutch and tranny have nothing to do with steering the car. hmmm

When shifting gears do you feel a tug on the steering wheel to the right with each gear change? Or do you have to have the clutch depressed for a period of time? What if you just move the shifter into neutral without pressing the clutch, does it pull then?

Have you tried switching tires front to rear? Do the left side first, and see if that makes any difference. If not, then change the right side. The reason I said the left side first is the left would/could have more of an impact on turning the car right.

Default Believe it or not, I was getting a lot of weird pulling just before I rotated...

It was a combination of that and road surface in certain areas...

Default Something just occured to me...

Most roads are crowned in the middle to allow for rain to run off to the sides. Perhaps that contributes to the phenomenon? Try to replicate the action in big parking lots and see if that helps.
