1 matching discussions were examined; no attributable action/outcome evidence was detected. No consensus or repair conclusion is claimed.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I hope I'm just being hyper-vigilant, but I sometimes feel a very slight and almost imperceptible skip or miss when shifting around 3000 rpm and driving easy, Car has new coils and plugs. Is this normal and I'm just being a perfectionist? Car runs great and has strong acceleration.
Variocam actuating?
variocam. after about 5 years you'll hardly notice it.
good news as mine does the same
OK, I guess I can quit worrying about this and find something else to worry about. Right? BUT...is it normal?
it is normal. for a 996. none of my other cars do it :-)

^ha ha variocam as stated before
Depends on the year. MK I vario-cam comes in about 5,500rpm. MkII Vario-Cam Plus -- 3,000.
^ i stand corrected - this place has great knowledge
I have had my car for about 20k miles now and I still notice it at low-mid speed.
It's where the fun starts....
