Revving/idleing problem

Looks like i've sorted out the idleing problem by replacing the idle air control valve.But now the revs still sometimes stay sky high when i engage the clutch.Also when changing gear the revs don't come down like it's supposed to.Has anyone ever experienced this before?

I've finally found the problem,after replacing the iacv.The screws that hold the butterfly were a little loose,so the butterfly couldn't be centered.Just tightened them and it's sharp.

Yes definitely.The guy at the parts desk told me that even the Triton bakkies(pick up) have the same problem.
