What he ^^^ said. This was originally discovered about a year ago. But don't delete this thread. It is useful to inform newer owners.

I hate when that happens. :o

ok yea.. if u dont just drop it you can roll to about 5-6 mph in first.
what i have noticed tho is going the other direction (probably because the car uses a different map when decellerating) as in downshifting, the car doesnt behave the same. It's jerky and lurches. They're decel map still needs work.

i've never had a standard that wouldn't do that - did it in my two mid 80's 7's, my 2000 s10, 2002 Pr5, 2003 Mazda6, and now the 8 - maybe those cars are all exceptions, i should ask my wife if she could do it in her saturn.
but it is a great thing when you're stuck in slow moving traffic

we call it "tanking" where i come from . and yes the 8 does it well.....it can also do it in 2nd gear (goes about 8-9ish)...haven't tried 3rd b/c that just seemed silly. lol

I can only do this when the engine is still cold and idles at 1½-2K rpm. Once the engine is warmed up it would idle at about 1K rpm, and the car would jerk and stall if I let go of the clutch withot applying gas.
