If the other thread doesn't help, here's how I can get it to happen very easily:
Stay in 1st gear.
Accelerate a little past 2500 RPM (doesn't have to be quick).
Let off the accelerator and let it drop around 500 RPM or so.
Press the accelerator again and studdering shall commence.
Experiment with how hard you press the accelerator, and how far you let the RPMs drop. This happens in every gear, but it's very easy to tell in 1st. If I get it just right the car will go a bit crazy bouncing on its own for quite a while. I felt it happen in 5th today (the car just shudders at that speed). This also happens almost every time I downshift around 2600 RPM (most noticeable from 1st to 2nd).

Luke - Thanks for the direct info. I checked the other thread and I think I can check it out - my only other question is that it seems to be affecting manual transmissions a lot more. My car is automatic and maybe it is harder to detect the "studder" with this transmission. Anywa, I will check it out later today.
Thanks

Hope this isn't a dumb question but how do I tell for sure that my car is acting this way? I have owned my 2.5LGT ltd for almost a month and put about 1500 miles on it. Can someone explain the behavior? does it affect most of these cars or only a small percentage? I ddi read through a portion of this thread but mostly people were talking about the problem in general terms and i'd like to be able to confirm or not whether my car is doing it.
Thanks

Well i'm thinking seriously about going the Cobb AP route in the not too distant future so hopefully that will help any issues
