Not sure if this is a problem or something normal...
 

Whenever I start moving from 1st gear and stop giving gas from 3k rpm, the car starts to randomly jerk and shake subtly while the rpm needle is dropping from 3k to 1.5k. Same thing for 2nd gear but it's understandable... but 1st gear??? :confused0068:
Am i just being paranoid or is this normal? anyone else remember experiencing this?

This could be a precursor to the issue a number of us have experienced, with the check engine light coming on after a period of rough idling. See this long thread:

Good luck, and hope you're not having the same issue.
