Any help or advice would be great, i am planning on contacting the dealer about it, but i wanted to hear from anyone else on the forum who might know something that i don't.
THANKS!

Well, I can reassure you that your car isn't broken. My 7AT does it as well, and a few others have commented on the same. It's "normal".
That said, you can alleviate this by changing your behavior. Leaving it in D instead of M when coming down to a light helps, as does flipping it into neutral. You generally only notice it on slow deccels (like coming down to a light in heavy traffic), you'll never notice a problem when you're driving this car the way it wants to be driven (why on earth would you want to bring a Z to a complete stop? that's no fun!). Save M-mode for when you're really driving, and use D-mode in traffic. Your transmission, your gas mileage, and your passengers who no longer have to endure the 2-1 downshift jerk will thank you
