I noticed this too the other day, basically it feels like the car hits neutral in gear (if that makes sense) but it only does it when you come of the throttle. I got a feeling this is a fuel saving thing that in normal auto mode when you come off the throttle it is not engaging the gear and hence not wasting fuel with engine braking. Although in manual mode this didnt happen if felt like 100% lock all the time and it was definitely engine braking off throttle.
