question from nervous newbie

Maybe I am being paranoid - but

When I acclerate say up to 35 45 range and pull of the acclerator - my car "sometimes" sees to drop RPM's like a rock (this is a 03 TL-S built 07/03) It never stalls but the slow down is almost jerk like?

am I being paranoid or am I seeing tranny issues?

Just drive the car and don't do that with the accelerator, you're not driving a stick you know.
BTW, welcome aboard.

S-Lady knows what she is talking about especially since she has recently bonded with "Cody"--finally!

Our cars also have grade logic control, so if you are coming down a hill or going up a hill, it will hold a gear to help acceleration(up hill), or to hel braking(down hill).

why are you letting go of the accelerator? Shouldn't you have that thing mashed to the floor ALL the time?
