Jerky torque converter
I just noticed that my tranny jerks a little just before coming to a stop or if I apply gentle pressure to the brakes and let the car creep forward at idle in DRIVE, basically normal stop-start city traffic. It is definitely not the brakes gripping unevenly, as it does not happen when I put it in NEUTRAL and repeat the exercise on a gentle slope.
The car has done 27K miles in 2.5 years, including 12 circuit track events with a lot of MANUAL gear changes and WOT driving.
Could my torque converter be showing signs of premature wear?
Has anyone had similar experience?

i had the same problem...
they replaced my transmission and torque converter in August.
The problem is not as bad as before, but I still feel the torque converter kick when slowing down.... as it grabs a lower gear and holds it and releases it as I slow down without using my brakes.
its better if you drive in C mode in traffic..
S mode is problem the problem...
if it continues.. I'm taking it back to the dealer.
