I'm going from my owners manual. It says that it has some sort of thing that seamlessly shifts out of gear and into neutral while coasting, then seamlessly shifts back into gear when power is needed. I might be wrong though, so I'll check the manual again to make sure after I get off from school.

Let off the gas, though, and a lot of the lockup clutches immediately release - your engine will drop right down to idle. It feels like neutral, but it really isn't
Yes, it seems exactly like that almost. but if i'm going down a hill starting out at like 10mph, it will shift to keep at idle speed once it gets over 1000 rpm. I'm usually in 3rd going 30-35. Why does it do this?
