    Mild "trailer-hitching" sensation in Drive 6

    I have noticed a mild "trailer-hitching" sensation while cruising in 6th gear at about 80 km/h (50 mph). The effect goes away if you switch to manual mode (still in 6th gear) - torque converter appears to unlock and RPM increases by about 250 rpm. Has anyone else noticed this? You have to be...
