There is a little decelerating jerk when this happens as if the 'box is not quite in sync with the engine until I completely release my foot.
It's quite disconcerting when you're driving along straight roads at these speeds, continually adjusting the throttle!
Would this sound like the TPS? incidentally it's been adjusted properly but NOT cleaned. (I'm not in NZ at the moment)

I think this is the TC locking and unlocking.
