Welcome to the site and forum/family.

I have experienced similar symptoms with my 2.2L shadow edition. I think nothing of it. has it affected the performance of your vehicle at all?

I ignore the stock speedo since it's garbage. I use my GPS, or the RPD for speed.

I think you're probably seeing a glitch with the VSS, when you release the clutch in neutral you still have the guts of the transmission spinning, it may be interpreting that as an output signal(the VSS is driven by the transmission). That would then be sent through the ECM to the BCM and on to the cluster giving you that little bounce of the needle.

I agree, There maybe a reflash to correct that but I wouldn't be too worried about it.
