Whenever I put my foot down and get up to the top end of first or second, then let my foot off the gas while still in gear, it feels like the motor 'bounces' noisily one or two times. Think of engine braking when you're in a low gear at a high RPM. Not like when you let the clutch out way too fast, but more like how the motor lurches forward slightly in the engine bay when under load. The RPMs stay consistent and it usually settles down after a bump or two. Something is rattling each time the engine catches itself before it settles down. I'm trying to pretty pin down how to eliminate this issue, anyone have a similar issue?
