I think it finally happened to me after 15 months and about 14K miles. I can now sympathize with everyone who experiences this sensation on a regular basis. I cannot imagine having this happen more than once.

It happened to me on a shift from first to second with the engine revving at about 3K. I was accelerating in second gear when all of a sudden the engine severely bogs down for a second before resuming acceleration. I thought there was something severely wrong until the car proceeded to drive as normal. Then I recalled the YO-YO Chronicles and realized it just happened to me! :evil:

Haas anyone ever heard of this happening like this? I'm the only driver on this vehicle and I can honestly say that this has never happened before. BTW. This is an 11/02 build MCS.

I would call the YoYo more of a pulsating feeling from about 2200-3000rpm at moderate throttle....about 5-10 rapid pulses then smooth acceleration.

What you are describing sounds more like the stall issue that was resolved with V.36, but I have never experienced that before.
