Default Decel vibration, Please advise

I just got a new 2012 Coupe and noticed that around 60-70mph a slight vibration occurs about 1.5 seconds after I let off or when cruise control drops out. Is this something common or should it be investigated? Thanks, David

Welcome Aboard!

The LS3 engine with A6 tranny has a slight "stutter" or "shudder" when you let off the gas around 60-70. Lots of people (including me) get it, and it doesn't seem to cause any problems.

Not sure about the M6 tranny, but probably similar.

Enjoy the car!

Nope . But we get the 'marbles in a can' for a second or two after taking off. I thought it was the clutch, but the noise takes place after it's fully released, so probably the tranny too. Choose your poison .

Thanks for the info. It takes away the worry. It is a whole lot different than the 1978 I had a long time ago.
