How long does it stay in that neutral type stage for? Is it just for a split second then it catches, and jerks into gear?

i normally let go of the gas, wait a sec, then give it gas again.
i havnt tried keeping my foot down on the gas to see if it catches because i was afraid of breaking something.
this help?

Check your boost levels. Most likely a tuning issue, due to colder temps, or mod changes. The TCU has a safety feature where it releases pressure to the clutch basket when to much boost is read. IE....free rev mode. As bad as it sounds, it actually prevents you from hurting your trans.

Lifting off the throttle between shifts is unnecessary. It's like an automatic- that's how you're supposed to drive it. It's likely the computer is getting confused for a second.

Do you have a reference for the above information? I am not developing much power above stock (~20whp) but I had my SST release in 1st (auto, sport) at WOT today. The revs were around 3.5k and the car went into neutral (though still said "D"), and I bounced off the rev limiter until I took my foot off the gas completely. No codes were thrown.

I had the Mr fell like it went into neutral from a stop... the RPM would go up like you where going to free rev'ing, then if you hold the throttle down. you can feel the clutch slowly engage then go. or you stay at a stop and the revs drop back down then you go.

eithere way annoying all then hell

So should you not lift up on the gas at all between shifts?
