Default Outback overheating

Hey guys! I have a problem with my daily driver at the moment and I can not for the life of me seem to figure it out. Here are the symptoms and what has been replaced and what not.

Info

4 cylinder Outback
5 speed manual
125,000 miles.

The car will heat up normally no knocking or odd noises coming from the engine. Once the car is at the running temperature right in the middle with the heater blowing out normal hot air. Once it gets there after about 5 minutes the temperature will start to go up slowly only while the car is driving. The second the car is either not moving i.e idling or i push the clutch in and coast the cars temperature will start to go back down to normal and reach the normal operating temp. Now this is were it gets weird if the car is over heating and you push the clutch and rev the car and hold it at 3k or 4k the cars temperature will go down!!!!! This completely blows my mind. There is no exhaust gas coming out of the radiator no oil in there either.

Thermostat has been replaced and coolant has been properly flushed and burped.
