Subject: [Shop-talk] Coast in Neutral -the next great debate
I'm putting this out to the group to get some opinions from the real expert=
s here.
If you put a manually car or truck in neutral and release the clutch while =
going down long hills or coming to a stop at a intersection, are you doing =
any damage?
I'm not worried about fuel savings, just is coasting in neutral with the cl=
utch release.
Any thoughts?
