Is this common?
Say I'm in 3rd gear and get on it up to 5000rpm and let it stay in gear and let it rev down, right at 3500rpm the car feels like it downshifted slightly, like it makes a slight grab, what is this?

Being hyper observant and paranoid myself, I think I know exactly what you're talking about. I've always attributed this to have something to do with the delayed throttle closing that has been implemented for emissions. The worst part about the delayed throttle closing is the RPM 'float' when letting off the gas, but I've also noticed that the 'float' seems to suddenly go away around 3500 as you mention. Pure speculation, but maybe it has something to do with that ...
