[Shop-talk] Coast in Neutral -the next great debate

[Pat Horne]

In general, I don’t see any problem. However I recall something similar decades ago where a tow truck driver did a two wheel haul on a car that was very low on trans fluid. After a long tow the trans bearings heated up & seized. Can’t say for sure that really happened or not. 

Peace,
Pat

I'm putting this out to the group to get some opinions from the real experts 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 clutch release. 

Any thoughts?
