Re: Gliding in neutral (CVT)...bad for the transmission?
To add more confusion I will add my piece.
Don't rev match in a CVT. There is no point. Even at 60mpg the car is only going about 2000 rpm anyway. I have used it several times on the highway without a problem. Make sure you foot is off the gas when you put it back in gear (this is the opposite of what you do in a MT with rev matching).
Kenny has stated in the past he gets a thunk when he goes back into gear. I don't notice this in my car at any speed. I don't think it will drop the transmision if you test it yourself so you will have to see how your car reacts.
Like the above poster said, honda uses charging at the most in oportune times. I say if your pack is above 1/2 use a neutral coast. Below that and you will start getting into forced regen and its not worth it.
