Reducing Jerk
To reduce the transmission jerk when re-engaging after an engine on glide, note the engine on RPM on the tach of that road speed when cruising in gear and gently from idle bring the RPM up with the gas pedal and pull the transmission into gear while maintaining the the light throttle pressure. You will quickly learn to do this instinctively. Note that some automatics do not go directly to top gear when re-engaging and so it may take a second or two for the transmission to decide it needs to be in top gear. If your car behaves this way you can overspeed the engine maybe 500 RPM before engaging the transmission further easing the re-engagement jerk.
