do face plated transmissions "pop" out of gear when decelerating?

Face plated transmissions will wear gears faster and that might be what is happening. Or is the shifter properly adjusted?

OR: Because of the unique engagement system of a clutchless G-Force, the transmission is not suitable for the street and will pop out of gear under deceleration. Since the clutchless G-Force is not a planetary transmission, it doesn't impose the same type of power losses.

Depends if it has road-race or drag-race type dogs?   Road-race are generally symmetrical so typically blip throttle to rev match for downshift but shouldn't pop out of gear with normal decel. Drag race often have tapered dogs that tend to push out of gear when you let off to allow slightly quicker shift.   

For street use, get road-race type. Just lift throttle slightly, blip the clutch or use an ignition cut to upshift and blip throttle to rev match for downshift.    

Hope this helps, RD
