Neutral

Wondering what the ford techs on here knew about shifting into N and then to D while moving. I've noticed if I shift to N going down hills and then obviously back to drive when the hill levels off or what not it makes a huge difference to how far I can coast. But I have read a lot of literature about how shifting to D while moving will slowly destroy the tranny. I do not know too much about automatic trannys since this is my first one I've ever owned, between my cars as well as my family's cars.

sorry you never got any replies sooner. Shifting to neutral from drive going downhill eliminates engine breaking, this is why it coasts further.

Shifting out of N to D while moving is ok as long as engine RPM is at idle.

No worries man. Just trying to figure it out. I know how a manual works in both a motorcycle and a car, that ones a wet clutch and ones a dry clutch respectively hence why you drag a wet clutch because it won't do the damage like on a dry clutch.

Is this is a "special thread" where each response is months apart?

Haha if someone would answer sooner there wouldn't be a month between posts...
