1994 Ford Taurus Hard shift into second gear?

First here are the vehicle details, 1994 Ford Taurus 3.8L, 45,000 original miles, torque converter seal was leaking six months ago so had a new torque converter put in. Ok so recently I've been getting a hard shift into second gear. Here s the weird part. It only happens from a dead stop turning left. If I make a left off of a stop sign I ll get a real bad jerk into second. It never happens when making a right though. I check the trans fluid periodically but it isn't losing any. Thoughts?

Complicated

I would be looking at the CV joint in that left side wheel and leave the trans for later.

Sounds like a bad motor or transmission mount because it does it going around a corner when the driveline is loaded or unloaded a certain way.
