My 01 se 5 speed seems to be lurching when i just let off the gas when i am still in gear. Then when i accelerate again it lurches forward. Is this normal or do i have a problem?

one way to avoid this would be not taking your foot of the gas too fast but...our problem is nothing compare to ford contour...oh my god those cars suck....

It's normal for all relatively high-powered cars with manual transmissions...

No it's not. Otherwise, Nissan USA wouldn't have demanded that Nissan Japan address the problem. But perhaps you know more than Steve Thomas knows, MI2KSE. If so, please illuminate us with your acumen.
