weird feeling in 1st and 2nd gear
I am not exactly sure if this is a problem or not maybe it's just the way the car is supposed to drive (I'm new to subies).
but when I am in 1st or 2nd and I let of the gas fast the car kind of bobbles down. Half way between a jerk and a womp... (if that makes any sense at all) =)
It happens three times everytime. I let off the gas and it goes womp womp womp. It doesn't make any noise, it's just something you feel.
Is this a problem with the tranny? or should I be worried at all?

This is normal on most manual trannys

Exactly what bassplayrr said. Assuming you have a WRX, it responds much better to rolling on and off the throttle as opposed to stabbing the gas and releasing it. Smooth is better for your car and can be faster.

Hehe yeah I'm still getting used to driving my wrx. I've started easing on/off my throttle and it has helped a lot. My 1.6 Protege that I had didn't make a differance if I slammed the throttle or not... no power and no torque = makes no differance
