If it was, I would assume it would snap the engine to the next gear RPM quickly. I can still double-clutch before the engine revs fall NOTICEABLY. Whatever GM was on to here, I am apparently not smoking the same grass as they were.

The TB is definitely NOT the culprit here, as the behavior does not change even if I force and hold closed the throttle plate.
