I do the same thing with my 93 honda dx, it has a auto trans and I find that shifting from N to D at 25mph in urban areas to be nice an smooth. When I shift from N to D between 25 and 45mph I get the down shift. I do find that slightly touching the go pedal while shifting back into D at these speeds to help. When I am shifting into D above 45mph its a smooth shift. I don't EOC but ever since I have discovered this site I have been doing a lot of Engine on Coasting. I hope to see an improvement on my next couple of tanks, from all the coasting I have been doing.
