Can anyone explain why it's easier to shift into neutral while coasting to a stop versus trying to get into neutral completely stopped? It's not real difficult while completely stopped, but much easier while coasting.

If you ever took a wet clutch apart you'd understand why it keeps pulling even when "fully disengaged".

Because you have motion in your tranny. Gear clusters are still spinning vs everything stopped.
