Car pulls to the right

Hey guys, i have a 6mt '08 g37S, when im driving at low speeds <25mph my car seems to pull to the right. Is it the car? or is it me and my crappy shifting abilities?

What would shifting have to do with the car pulling to the right? Get your alignment checked...Toe is probably out.

idk it seems to pull when i push in the clutch. also i bought the car on labor day, and was shown papers for a full inspection with alignment and everything.

How many miles do you have on it? I believe there is a TSB for it. You'd have to look around for it.

check tire pressure and have alignment checked. Hitting a single pothole can throw it out of alignment.

even though the car might be aligned perfectly, the car can still pull a bit to the right due to the fact that roads are naturally banked towards the right. but with 20k miles, an alignment check wouldn't hurt.

I rotated my tires, and the aligment felt fine for a while but now its pulling like crazy. I have to check my tire pressure, if not then just get an aligment. Im pretty sure it doesnt have to do with pressing in the clutch.

i dont know if there are different types of alignment (im pretty sure there arent) but when im cruising on the higway or local road and leave the wheel alone, the car goes straight without a problem.

Which way did you rotate your tires?

How do you rotate tires on the 6MT when they are staggared? All you can do is swap sides which seems pointless. Actually, I'm not even sure you can do that as they may be directional tires.

That's why I asked which way he rotated them. The tires aren't directional, they just have to be mounted with the the correct side facing out.
