I've been trying a little pulse and gliding with my mom's '87 Tercel, and it is a little hesitant when shifting back into gears. I've found that the car when shifting goes 1, 2, 3 and then something else that feels like a shift and might be a lock-in-torque converter or something like that, but it reduces the rpms. Either way I find when shifting into gear from a glide, my car likes to go back to 3rd, and then a moment later it will "shift" to whatever it is that reduces the rpms further. Not really sure about my results with this technique yet but I would imagine it still works on a similar principle even if it's not 100% smooth.
