It feels like a quick ‘slip’ of the transmission when you give it just a little more gas to keep speed?
If so; mine was spark knock; caused by 11 year old wires that were never changed.
I don’t think I had any codes; but couldn’t hurt to try a quick wire/plug change and see if it goes away.

It's hard to describe exactly, although it is a very simple, I can tell it's coming from the driveline because it has that little bounce feel. I had a 93 Accord a long time ago that had this little quirk about it. If you quickly tapped the gas enough to make the engine jump a little but not enough to force the transmission to unlock, you would get this bouncy kick. I always assumed that this was that clutch feel of the engine and wheels being locked.
When you say wires, I'm assuming you're talking about the ignition wires? I changed all those last year and also put in three new ignition coils this year. It definitely does not feel like a misfire as it physically shakes the driveline.
