So today as I was driving home from work I had the Z in manual mode with VSD off. It was just the open road and I so I wanted to have a LITTLE fun. Well as I was approaching a stoplight, I noticed the car made a pop sound almost like you took two rocks and slammed them together. I also could feel it on the shifter. I decided to put it back into auto mode and couldn't seem to replicate the issue. Has anyone else experienced this? I would think if it were the tranny taking a dump it would be rough through all gears but I could be wrong. Was just curious if any other 7AT owners have experienced this?
