It doesn't really bother me. But experiencing it again had me thinking there was something more seriously wrong that was causing the problem.

The Porsche could be pretty bad, actually, but in that case (come to think of it) it was induced by PIO via the throttle.

Many thanks!

I take it your are convinced you are not just lugging the motor, any manual will lug if your RPM is too low to handle the gearing.
