hmm sounds like it's not a misfiring issue. I wonder if could be motor mounts are worn out for some reason and it is just the motor jerking. Or a vacuum issue. I would take it to the dealer since it is under warranty.

I wouldn't call that misfire either... sounds like a new beast to me. anyone know anything about the car's algorithms? might be a faulty closed-loop control from dirty sensors or something.

To build on my above thought, have you installed a new intake or exhaust lately? I'm thinking a dirtied/broken MAF or IAT sensor might screw up the car's logic enough to make it flutter the throttle, or maybe even exhaust o2 sensors if this car has 'em.

i installed a CAI last june, and exhaust was early january. i checked my MAF and it was perfectly clean,.

i haven't made any mods to my car besides the head unit.

This is happening to my car as well...
I thought I did something wrong, putting every back together, after I painted my calipers...
I'm actually taking the car to the shop friday.

this is normal for a tc. mine and my sisters (hers is auto, mine is stick) do this. the answer is above. its a combo of the engine mounts and the drive be wire. its the engine rocking back and fourth
solution:
1) live with it
2) clutch it a little when letting off gas
3) new engine mounts
4) engine torque dampener
your car is fine, if there was a major problem it would throw on a cel. i have this problem too but its no biggie!

My car was doing the exact same thing. i bought my tc from a guy who had put on a cheap ebay intake, dirtied up the MAFS. After a new injen intake and MAFS car is 5x better, can barly feel the shiftingness.

So I went to get it checked out and it turned out to be the tires...
apparently my tires are harder material which causes the car to shake a little but with a little balancing, the shaking goes away...

This happens to me at times too - however I am new to driving a stick so that might be the reason for my issues (esp since I don't give enough gas at times).

This maybe be related to the drive by system itself since it controls how much throttle to use, no?

Seattle_Tc

nice.
