Question M6 - bucking at low speed - normal?

I've had this problem for years and thought it was normal but want to double check as I never have this issue with any other standard I've driven.

When driving at low speeds ~ 10 mph, not riding the clutch the car bucks. RPMm's are fine and I'm not near stalling.
I recently upgraded to 4.10 gears so I'm at a higher RPM and it still does it - I have this happen with 3 differnt cams including the stocker so i don't think it's can surge - the tranny mounts look OK.

But it's basically undrivablefrom ~10 MPH and below as I either have to ride the clutch or coast.

The clutch has been replaced - that had no effect.

it's really noticable when making a slow U turn or turning into a gas station - you know - when you have a bit of power but are driving slowly.

So - is this nornal or should I investigate further?

thanks

usually means that its time for a rebuild in the tranny. The old 4 spds would do that when the bearings, and thrust bearing inside of them were bad.
