Default Sometimes it sometimes it won't

Usually when I'm coming up to a light I just push the shift **** to neutral and most of the time no problems, but seems like at times the tranny is reluctant to come out of gear, anybody have a clue, the problem occurs mostly in 2nd or third where I actually have to use the clutch, could it be too many powershifts ?

Hi there,
It could be the powershifting, remember that syncronizers take the brunt of powershifting. This would wear them at a higher rate. The reason that it may increase effort, is that they syncro also helps keep the gear in, but if metallic pieces get stuck inside the hub, you may experience the condition.
This is speculation, and I would have it checked.
Besttoyou, c4c5

I'm starting to make my list of things to get checked out by February ( end of warranty ). I'll add the synchros.
