you have given us no info whats so ever, as to the details of your car. secondly you know how dist brakes work? they are ALWAYS pushing on the rotor. i doubt the wheel, even off the ground, would make it past 5 rotations, if that... if your car is manual it will not coast as long as an auto car. secondly there is this thing called cruise control its like right there. and i have no idea why you are taking your foot off the gas with no cruise control engaged. they only time i take my foot off the gas is to Decelerate which your car is doing; its job.. or if im really moving along, with no gas down a very steep road in which i need to step on the brakes or down shift to 3rd or second to keep the car from going faster and faster... as far as im concerned, is from what you are telling us, you cant drive... and upon second observations i see that your car is a sc400 so its and auto. which means there is no reason for you to really take your foot off the gas unless you are gonna slow down, so if you wanna keep moving you gotta touch the gas at least a little bit, or turn on the cruise control.

Nah really? C'mon I know the difference! I'm saying when i get up to a speed where any other car would continue with gravity i can feel the engine making the car slow down! Almost as if i put the car in second gear and downshifted, not that severe but that! I put the car in neutral and it did what it was supposed to do which is cruise. Now do you get what I'm saying?

Sorry, yeah it goes into overdrive fine, I can feel power in the pedal like its saying c'mon let's go when I/m simply trying to ride at say 40mph, but it feels like I'm riding in second gear at 40mph! You know how most cars progress to the next gear, i think mine is doing it but slower than most

I haven't personally, does jiffy lube check that when they do signature service? I'm asking cause i know they do all fluids when you get a full service oil change! Anyway I'm going to take a look at that today, thanks! If that's ok, then what?

After that, I'm not entirely sure what next, there's a list of things related to tranny shifting. I'd do some more searching here; there's tons on info on tranny problems. Here's a couple threads that list possible points of failure for tranny shifting.

post a video? i think i our cars lose speed pretty quick if your cruising at 80 and let off.. at 80 you really need to have your foot on the gas to maintain that speed.
