OK, so my 2013 C650 GT just started something a little odd a month ago. When going > 30 MPH and coming to a stop, the engine stalls. I can restart it without any issue but it's certainly less than desirable.
My thought was that the clutch wasn't releasing fast enough or something else in that same area. I pulled everything apart and found that the sleeve on the drive shaft and was severely worn and appeared to be binding on the variator. Definitely my fault as I've never lubricated the inside of that sleeve as shown in the manual. Oops. Having that bind a little at idle could definitely stall the engine and make the noise I was hearing
So I replaced the sleeve and variator (lubricating as noted), the clutch (which I was doing anyway), and buttoned everything up. The transmission is MUCH quieter and doesn't make any of the nasty noises it was before. But, the stalling is there still there. It idles great, if I slowly come to a stop, everything is good, but quicker stops (or even regular deceleration) cause it to stall.
Not sure what else might be going on but hopefully something straightforward. I'm 95% sure it's nothing in the transmission area but open to ideas. THanks!
