TRANSMISSION SLOWS CAR WHEN I DECELERATE FULL

It's purpose was to shift from normal 6 cylinder use down to 4 cylinder use to save on gas or emissions or something I've already forgotten. My Odyssey, along with I imagine all the newer versions of it and other Hondas have what is called VCM, Variable Cylinder Management I believe. I'm sure someone here who is much more knowledgeable than I am could confirm or deny any possibility of the same cause.

This is probably not at all related but I've noticed the same thing and had the same issue from the beginning with my 08 Odyssey for *years*. I was wondering if this is something any of you have noticed yourself when driving the Telluride? If this is natural I could probably learn to live with it but I am concerned that maybe itвЂ™s a problem and if I ignore it it might cause a bigger problem.

At first I thought maybe thatвЂ™s just the way AWD works and somehow as the transmission is gearing down the changes are very noticeable compared to my Ford without AWD which just decelerates at a very steady even rate all the way to a full stop if allowed to. From 35 kph it slows down nice and naturally again till it hits another quick slow down somewhere are 15 kph (approximately). LetвЂ™s say IвЂ™m going about 60 kph (sorry kilometers is the official nonsense in Canada) and seeing a red light up ahead, I take my foot off the gas pedal, it coasts smoothly along slowing down gradually in a natural way, then when I hit 40 kph the vehicle slows down to 35 kph relatively suddenly as if someone was lightly applying some brakes.

I have a small issue when IвЂ™m coasting to a stop.
