Recently noticed something odd in my car...
When slowing down for something like a round-a-bout and then taking back off I can feel/hear a slight pop/donk if I step on the accelerator to speed up slightly and then let off it. Doesn't seem to happen if I come to a complete stop or if I power through till the next gear though. Only ever happens in what I think is second gear but could be first. '06 Automatic with almost 85000 km if that helps at all.
My thinking is that it happens if I let off the accelerator at a certain rpm. I notice it from time to time when I'm accelerating up to someone then letting off when I get close enough as well as slowing for traffic at a red light, having it turn green, speeding up to catch up with traffic and letting go.
Had the transmission fluid changed already so really hope that's not it. Based on the fact that it only happens in certain situations as opposed to a certain speed don't think it could be axle related. Getting a feeling it's got something to do with a/f. Feels kind of like it's dumping excess fuel but I don't know if that's something these cars do...
Anyone with any ideas as to the cause? Is it possible that the car is just like that and I never noticed it until now? Going to try disconnecting my battery this weekend and seeing if I still get the same results after a reset.
Apologies if this is covered in another post. Not an easy thing to search up when the issue itself is difficult to describe.
