In general, I don=E2=80=99t see any problem. However I recall something simi=
lar decades ago where a tow truck driver did a two wheel haul on a car that w=
as very low on trans fluid. After a long tow the trans bearings heated up & s=
eized. Can=E2=80=99t say for sure that really happened or not.=20

Peace,

If you put a manually car or truck in neutral and release the clutch while g=
oing down long hills or coming to a stop at a intersection, are you doing an=
y damage?=20

I'm not worried about fuel savings, just is coasting in neutral with the clu=
tch release.=20

Any thoughts?=20
