I started a thread about this a while back but no cause or solution has been found.
also i like to shift to neutral sometimes when decelerating to a stop instead of downshifting, but when i do that the rpm's scream to 5 or 6000 expecting me to shift from 6th to 3rd or something. not very pleasant

why not just keep it in gear until around 20 mph. even if you are cruising in 4,5,6, it will aid in stopping, save your breaks, and it wont wear out your driveline any faster. i'm not saying downshift to slow down. i'm just saying keep it in gear, brake like you would if you were driving an auto, and when you're about to come to a stop or slow roll just clutch and brake, put it in neutral or 1st and wait for the green light. coasting in neutral is kind of dangerous. if out of nowhere some dbag came up fast in your rear view and was about to rear end you, you'd be screwed.
