what is your tach idle on both engines ??
I believe IF your idle adjustment is set too high, it can cause your prob to spin, as well as make it a little tougher to slide into gear.
That can happen by the adjustment screw moving as well as the AIC valve getting getting carboned up, or starting to stick
