    "Flutter" issue

    Not sure if this is going to sound really stupid or obvious what the issue is but anywho, when I'm accelerating and on the verge of changing gears my car seems to "flutter" (thats the best i can describe it) slightly, its not a noise, its just feels like the revs flutter when I'm accelerating harder usually from 3rd-4th or 4th-5th once I change into 5th its usually fine.

    Tried to do a search on previous posts and threads on here but didn't come up with much at all.

    Help is appreciated as to what it could be Click here to enlarge

    But it only happens when I'm going into the higher gears? Or does that not matter? And I rarely have my air conditioning on either if that helps

    is yours turbo'd because it could be it releasing boost as you change gears.. if the actuator a bit slow it will flutter instead of being a clean release of boost press..
    When your brakes create more "G" forces than your engine
