This is the slight hang in between gears to keep revs up a tad to help match the next gear. The only way to ditch this is either a) unhook the IAC or b) get a chip tuned with out it. You can notice it by throwing your car in neutral and seeing the revs will stay at about 1000 until you come to a dead stop, then they'll drop down. As for the post about it causing extra wear on your clutch....thats BS. The dashpot is there to keep the wear and tear OFF your clutch by matching the rpms more easily. If you mean when you're down shifting coming to a stop....quit down shifting. Unless you're road racing its pointless. I'd rather change a set of brake pads than a clutch any day of the week.  The revs also will have no affect on your throw out bearing unless you ride with your foot on the pedal constantly....</blockquote>
