I shift to neutral in the Sentra and back to drive without issues. The torque converter does not lock up until after the engine is up to speed going back to drive from neutral and thats at speeds as high as 70 MPH.

No way it could even come close to a hard full power upshfit or a passing downshift at any speed beyond 50 MPH at least in my experience.

Removing the DFCO portion of programming would also mean you can not use engine braking for unwanted deceleration (caught by a light, etc) or downhill where coasting would mean you would go beyond a safe (or legal) speed.
