there are 82000 miles on it also...

Lately, when the RPMs drop below 1000 in my 2002 Santa Fe 2.4 $
cylinder, the engine seems to vibrate a bit more that normal. Also, the
engine seems to go from normal (how it was before I noticed this
problem) to a "jerky vibrate" back to normal. It doesn't vibrate a lot,
but it is noticeable to me.

I took it to a mechanic and said it was fine, but I'm not sure. Anyone
have any similiar experiences, or ideas on what it could be?
