Narrative:

We were dispatched with 1 pack inoperative. After starting engines and pushing back from the gate; ZZZ informed us of 20-30 min delays. We shut the right engine down. When we attempted to restart it out popped the right engine control circuit breaker twice. Talked to maintenance control who sent us back to the gate. Maintenance worked on it and off we went. This time we kept engines running through delays. During takeoff and shortly after lift-off airplane felt odd. I attributed it to winds. Then the stabilizer trim light came on. It was clearly trimming very slowly. I considered returning to ZZZ but aircraft was flying and WX better to the west. All hydraulic system indications were normal. Tried to engage center autoplt and the airplane took a huge dip; right wing down; and a bump as it fought pitch controller. Gave up on that and hand flew. First officer flew with left autoplt on while I ran checklists and talked to dispatch and maintenance control. They recommended a precautionary landing in ZZZ1 which we did. We did not declare an emergency. We did request a shallow straight in approach to runway and less than standard turns to avoid the possible 'dip' of a wing. All went well although I could feel the airplane trimming slowly. Stabilizer trim light reappeared. Took the people to ZZZ2 in another airplane. They were in good spirits and appreciated being kept in the loop. An excellent job by first officer and flight attendants.

Title: A B757-200 ACFT EXPERIENCED SLOW STAB TRIM RESPONSE AND STAB TRIM LIGHT ON. ACFT ALSO TOOK HUGE DIP AND RIGHT WING DOWN AND BUMP WHEN TRYING TO ENGAGE CENTER AUTOPILOT.

Narrative: WE WERE DISPATCHED WITH 1 PACK INOP. AFTER STARTING ENGS AND PUSHING BACK FROM THE GATE; ZZZ INFORMED US OF 20-30 MIN DELAYS. WE SHUT THE R ENG DOWN. WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT OUT POPPED THE R ENG CTL CIRCUIT BREAKER TWICE. TALKED TO MAINT CTL WHO SENT US BACK TO THE GATE. MAINT WORKED ON IT AND OFF WE WENT. THIS TIME WE KEPT ENGS RUNNING THROUGH DELAYS. DURING TKOF AND SHORTLY AFTER LIFT-OFF AIRPLANE FELT ODD. I ATTRIBUTED IT TO WINDS. THEN THE STABILIZER TRIM LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS CLRLY TRIMMING VERY SLOWLY. I CONSIDERED RETURNING TO ZZZ BUT ACFT WAS FLYING AND WX BETTER TO THE W. ALL HYD SYS INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL. TRIED TO ENGAGE CTR AUTOPLT AND THE AIRPLANE TOOK A HUGE DIP; R WING DOWN; AND A BUMP AS IT FOUGHT PITCH CTLR. GAVE UP ON THAT AND HAND FLEW. FO FLEW WITH L AUTOPLT ON WHILE I RAN CHKLISTS AND TALKED TO DISPATCH AND MAINT CTL. THEY RECOMMENDED A PRECAUTIONARY LNDG IN ZZZ1 WHICH WE DID. WE DID NOT DECLARE AN EMER. WE DID REQUEST A SHALLOW STRAIGHT IN APCH TO RWY AND LESS THAN STANDARD TURNS TO AVOID THE POSSIBLE 'DIP' OF A WING. ALL WENT WELL ALTHOUGH I COULD FEEL THE AIRPLANE TRIMMING SLOWLY. STABILIZER TRIM LIGHT REAPPEARED. TOOK THE PEOPLE TO ZZZ2 IN ANOTHER AIRPLANE. THEY WERE IN GOOD SPIRITS AND APPRECIATED BEING KEPT IN THE LOOP. AN EXCELLENT JOB BY FO AND FLT ATTENDANTS.
