Strange "lurching" feelings while driving slow

Hey,

 

So, like the title states, im getting what feels like a lose of power to the wheels for brief moments while driving in 1st and 2nd without the accelerator pressed in. It's not a stalling feelings, rather a lurching.

 

To try and give a rudimentary diagram:

 

driving in 1st or 2nd accelerator pressed in-> lift off power-> crawl-> power lose-> second later power back-> lose of power.... until I give it gas again.

 

Also, I get this when starting of a stop light or full stop in general. However, this could be better described as something holding on to the rear axle, but for a moment, and then releasing it. the sound that it makes is rather concerning.

 

 

I was hoping to get some insight. thanks for your ideas.

has it been cold? is this first thing in the morning or after everything has warmed up?

when was the last time you changed trans fluid or diff fluid?

new tank of gas? if its summer fuel and the weather has turned cold weird stuff happens.

manual or auto trans? I sometimes have a shift lag between drive and reverse if things are cold.

 

need more info.

Temperature doesnt seem to make it better or worse.

Its a manual.

Not sure about the type of fuel in the tank, but it happens winter and summer.

Running time also doesnt seem to make a difference.

trany and diff fluid as changed about 2 months ago.

 

thanks for the feed back.
