Sounds like an axle/transmission issue. Do you have any ticking/clunking when you turn at low speeds?

No the car runs straight does not make any clinking noises or need alignment (done just in case) has a different tranny because i though the tranny was the issue. When i'm on the freeway the car will go the right when i accelerate and will go left when i let the gas go back straight or quit pulling the right.

Broken left axle, maybe? Jack up the left, and see if the wheel turns.
If it turns, the axle shaft (not the CV) might be broken.

Check your mounts, 1 might be broken causing the engine to move and making your axles articulate at a bad angle causing drag.

Then check your wheel bearings, jack up the car and turn the wheels to see how smoothly it turns. You need to do this for both front and back.
