When im driving and not on the gas, and still in gear there is alot of drag. To coast I will just pop it in neutral, and when i need to speed up again, Ill get back in gear. My 8 is an 04, manual. Does anyone else experience this, i have driven many manual cars and none of them have done this?!?
(in gear when i let off the gas, there is alot of drag almost like im downshifting or breaking, i can not coast in gear, or i will quickly slow down. Doesnt matter which gear im in)

This thread should be in "Troubleshooting". You mention gas mileage in the title, yet don't tell us what it is. Is there any difference between clutch-in coast vs in-neutral? In-gear coastdown will depend a lot on the rpm. If you're around Lansing and want some help troubleshooting, pm me.

Sorry guys I just joined the club. This was my first post I wasnt sure which section to post it in. I have driven several manual cars, both my parents own one. Thanks for the feed back
