    Currently experiencing some weird jerking back and forth as i let up on the gas pedal. This is at highway speeds of 70ish mph. With and without cruise engaged. Is this the gear slipping? Braking doesnt seem to initiate the tugging feeling. I've got maybe 3-400 pounds in the bed currently. Furniture, siding. I took it out of fifth, cruised in neutral for a second, back into fifth and that seems to cure it for a minute but then it comes back. Experienced this the only time i towed. Manual transmission. Any ideas?
