All,

Not been much TR6 traffic recently, so I'll pop a question
about handling characteristics of the TR6.

First up, my TR6 has 24 year old rubber bushings, but the stock 
shocks are fine.

Coming hard out of a corner, if I am required to change up a gear,
the whole rear-end will "lift up" and transition to pretty severe
oversteer until I can get on the throttle again which settles things
down.  It can be pretty scary, so I have to wait until the corner
straightens out till I can change gears.

Now is this just my car, or is this a trait of all TR6's (and TR4a's)?

Other than new poly bushings and heavier oil in the rear dampers, how
else can this be solved?

Thanks in advance.
