Hi,
I'm getting a strange noise and engine retarding feeling on lift off of the throttle when I let the car coast also occasionally when I step on the gas lightly there is a jerk on the transmission during take up or on the occasional gear change. The transmission fluid has been checked and is the right level and pink in colour.
Any ideas please.

The gearbox was cold and the engine idling. I moved from park all through the gears then back to park before checking the transmission dipstick.
