Default Aristo Transmisison (auto)

I'm just wondering if anyone has this same behavior.... I found that my tranmission / car does not coast very well... Meaning when i let off the gas it almost immediately slows as if the trans is dragging. I'm not sure if it's a a341 thing or just my car thing.

I had a rental G8 Pontiac this weekend and I noticed how little it "dragged" and i could coast for ever with out giving really any gas.

Does anyone have this problem or have a suggestion?

not sure i have a open diff the stock aristo one.

as for the cold it does it then and doesn't realy shift until you are getting up to speed, I though it was because it was trying to warm up faster.

but the high way dragging is costing lots of gas that I know for sure.

could be something completley different.. check your brake calipers on all 4 corners, they love getting stuck on the jzs 147.
