Visiting my parent's over the holidays I drove my Dad's 3.6R and noticed a strange problem when the car is cold.
When stopped with the transmission in D the car surges as if the transmission is shifting in and out of gear. You can feel the car pull against the brakes, release, then the cycle repeats about once a second. I wouldn't call it a vibration as it happens at a frequency substantially below any rotational speed within the drivetrain. It only happens when cold, though I can't tell whether it might be high-idle related or cold transmission related.
The car behaves normally once the brake is released and you start moving forward. No abrupt gear engagement or slipping.
Anybody experience similar symptoms?
