I really wouldn't call it magical, nor do I know if there's a TSB for the Z. This happened to some of the first FX's that came off the lot. Even after it, I still feel the slight "drag/lag" when slowing down like Ant talked about. If someone has records of the Z's TSBs, let mwilli know, but as far as I can tell, it will still "drag" mildly when slowing down. It seems to be part of the 7-speed design. It won't hurt the car. Mwilli, I'll sum it up by saying that there's a good chance there wasn't a TSB in the Z. I think it was fixed by the time the car was released. It's just a quirk.

If there's not a TSB on the Z, it's the way the transmission is. You won't make any progress by bringing it in IF there's no TSB.

Technical Service Bulletin. If you're under warranty, and you have a particular problem that's covered by a TSB, it will be free and fixed with instructions from the factory.
