Why don't you just have a mechanic check out the car? Anyway it sound like the butterfly valve is sticking.

What year is the evo? From my understandings (i think 05+) they added a feature to them. If you go heavy on the gas and then shift it stays at the rpm's for a lil before it drops back down. This is to burn any extra fuel. Any tuner can remove that feature but you need to tell them.

LOL Over reaction id say. Stupid question but did you mess with the idle screw on the throttle body. Try turning it clockwise (in). See what happens. Report back. I had a similar problem, it was like the revs lingered between shifts.

This has plagued a few of us, there is a fix once you isolate the issue.
What is your idle RPM?
Is your TB stock and can you verify it is not leaking?
If you are sitting in neutral with AC/radio/headlights on and turn quickly, what do RPMs do?

you are getting gear lock-out... sounds like your trying to to shift while WOT at high rpms...sounds like gear lock to me. If that is the case you need a twin disc clutch.

the throttle body is stock, but yes it is leaking.

Make sure no lines are laying on the throttle cable/spring. I had that on mine. It wouldn't do it all the time, but that was the cause on mine. A simple visual inspection will tell you if any of the fuel lines are laying on it.
