idles fine but no acceloration

My 88 crx drives fine.. i start to drive it down the road but when i take a turn, i suddenly have no acceleration. The engine is running fine, i can hear it idle ok. but i put my foot to the floor and it doesn't rev up or anything. Then after a few seconds or even minutes sometimes, it starts to drive straight again.. but when i take a turn, its starts again.... Trent Valley Honda have never heard of this before so I have no idea where to start.
ANy suggestions..?

Thanks, Brian

I just took it for a drive again.. and it seems to only do it when i take a left turn.. seems to be fine when i take right turns.. I do believe i need a new clutch cause it has a rough time starting out in 1st, sputters a lot.. think this could be part of my prob
