Car shudders when I take my foot off accelerator, my car jerks when I'm driving and take my foot off the accelerator Options

Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to this car stuff... I've had my celica for about 7 months now....I love it...but I've always wanted to ask about a few things and I hope you guys can help as I'm sure theres a few experts around

When I'm driving, I take off in first gear but when I lift my foot back off the accelerator my car seems to drop power very very quickly, like a shuddering of jerking effect for a few seconds until it settles... This will happen if say for example I'm driving through my street, I'm going at a normal speed, and I simple lift my foot from the accelerator it jerks....its quite annoying sometimes when I'm driving through town or something. I know I probably haven't described this very good (please excuse me I'm half sleeping - late night last night haha) but I've always wanted to ask someone if they have the same problem...is it normal or am I doing something wrong, and no sarky comments please about my driving haha....I've drove probably over 100 different kinds of cars in my job and my car seems to be the only that does it... haha

Thanks for any help in advance guys!
Much appreciated!

Mine does it somewhat if I'm going in a low gear (like 2nd) at higher RPMs (3500+ for example). It won't do it below 3k unless I happen to be in 1st, which is rare

I happens when I'm moving in traffic....you know like at traffic lights and I'm prob only moving 10yards at a time...its never done it in any other cars I drive and the rpm isn't too low or anything. Think what my cousin says might be true? Its just the way they are setup? I have drove a 2004 VW Golf R32, 3.2 V6 petrol, manual gearbox...it was a Mk4 one. It done the same actually I remember! But the new R32 I drove in work also didn't do it so I asked one of the mechanics he said that they had "fixed" it in the new version....said it was just the way its setup too...I dont know! Love to know exactly what it is though
