my max is a 5spd and i've noticed that when i let my foot off the gas the car gets kind of jerky. this makes it difficult to maintain a constant speed. going 20-30 in second this is very apparent. anybody else notice this??

Do a search (above) on "fuel cut issue" and you'll see that this is common in all 5spds.

Don't feel alone. It's enough of an issue that Nissan USA has called upon Nissan Japan to engineer a remedy.

Stand by!
