Question M6ers ... Lugging, bucking

I have something that happens in my car that I am not sure if it's normal or not as its always done it - so I have to ask another M6er.

When I decelerate to say 5-10 mph and let the clutch out, the car starts bucking, this especially happens when I'm turning into a driveway or gas station and am slowing and am not riding the clutch.

All is fine at slow speeds as long as I am under load or accelerating so normal turns are fine as is driving in traffic. I usually coast to lights so that's fine too but when going into a parking lot or especially a gas station the car does not like the clutch out at low speeds and no load, High speeds are fine too.

It feels like I'm in a way wrong gear and the car runs but isn't happy about it - like when you start in 3rd

Does your car act this way as well? I figure it's either normal, cam surge or a broken tranny mount.

Other than that the car runs great

thanks

I thought that was the definition of cam surge, hahha. I'd think thats normal on a car with a med-large cam. As madwolf asked, what cam is it?

My 93's engine is stock and does surge a little in the situations that you describe. You get used to it.
