Default drops to idle when in gear

my cars kind of random on this ever since i got the tep transmission and tuning.
car acts like it drops out of gear when you let off to cost... doesnt do it all the time, but it seems to do it at all speeds. some times it does it right when you left off, other times its waits longer.
also notices some time it feels like it stays in gear then when it finally drops down it shoots past idle then catches back up...
fluid level seems fine.

This seems normal to me, mine does the same..
At certain speeds my tack will drop to idle as soon as I left off the gas. At other speeds, it will hold the gear. Depends on the tune.

When i'm on the highway, my car will hold the gear, which is nice.

Your probably feeling the converter lock and unlock. If your shift pressures are bumped up sometimes it feels like another gear.
