Default Loses power on hard left turns and trans slipage

So my daughters 99 seems to lose power on hard left turns. Its regardless of how much gas is in the tank and the power just seems to drop a bit, maybe a few hundred rpms and comes back.

Also, sometimes the trans slips when you pull off the light or stop sign, then all is fine, something normal or happens a lot?

Stupid question, how much fluid in the trans? Could be low....

yeah I did a fluid/filter change a few months ago to fix the leak with the trans pan, I should have said that

The only thing I could think of is a possible wiring problem, or a problem with the right wheel hub assembly.

Is there any check engine lights on? If no lights are on run it 10 minutes or so doing the problem behavior and see if it kicks on then

no engine lights and I dont think its a hub as the engine actually takes a few hundred RPM dive on those hard lefts, its not like the trans is slipping on them
I think the off the line problem is a solenoid in the trans, just a guess
