a/c problem help!!!

recently i notice that my car rocks like a boat while driving. most noticeable 20-40 mph. feels like im tapping the gas and letting go continously. i notice that the rpm jumps about 250 up and goes back down. I took a look under the hood i can hear something clicking on and off- im guessing something with the a/c. This problem only happens when the a/c is on. any ideals?

Same problem here. I'm at 89k and had the tranny replaced 10k ago. It's definintely worse with the A/C on, but it does it with the A/C off as well, just not as much on mine. I'm at a loss. I'll let you know what Acura service says about mine when I take it in... unless I trade my CL in before then.

Sounds like something is loose...I'd check with teh belts, pulleys, and tranny/engine mounts.
