Got a problem

In need of some help again....
My buddy was driving my car to my place but when he got onto the autoban he noticed that downshifting, or slowing down from highway speeds there was a slight shimmy felt inside the car. This only happens while slowing down...
Thats the only details i got from him about the car. Im not in Germany to look at this problem yet, and probably wont be for about a month. Any takers on what the problem could be?

Was it while the clutch was being released?

hard to say from that explantion what is wrong at all

I would say to not let your "buddy" beat your rex on the only road with and unlimited speed limit on the planet until you can get back and drive the car - hehehe

But what ever it is is doesn't sound terrible...a slight shimmy could have just been a person whose never drove a rotary complaining about a notchy or rough decceleration..........has he had much experienced driving rotaries?

I was curious if it was clutch chatter.
