Ashraf Raja I don’t see how losing acceleration causes an accident. In the case where somebody pulls out in front of you that is. You can still use your brakes. Why would it matter if you’re in neutral and get in an accident that couldn’t be avoided by accelerating? Maybe because if it is avoided you waste time going back into drive which increases risk of collisions for the people behind you who also have to stop? Like I understand not being able to get out of somewhere as quickly from being in neutral and that being the cause of the accident but what if the situation is somebody pulling out in front of you in that case you use your brakes but still hit them? The reason for hitting them isn’t because you’re in neutral as being in neutral won’t change the performance of slowing down.

Shifting to neutral at the stop is good for these reasons: 1. Prevents the torque converter from overheating. Idling in drive causes the impeller to rotate while the turbine is held stationary by the transmission which prevents the normal fluid flow inside the torque converter resulting in turbulence and heat generation by the fluid. 2. After a hard stop, shifting to neutral and releasing the brakes allows the brakes to cool down with the pads disengaged from the rotor which prevents the rotor warpage. 3. It will also circulate the fluid between the torque converter, the transmission, and heat exchanger further cooling down the torque converter.

One benefit of switching to neutral/park from drive is if your sitting still for an extended period of time (ie: drivethru, waiting on a train, etc). If stationary and in drive you are creating a lot of excessive heat in the torque convertor. A lot easier on it if you are in neutral or park.

@JettXxB2 жыл бұрын
@@aceof8S well on any newer vehicle with an eauto transmission that will not damage it at all. It may cause some issues if done in a very old automatic transmission that has more basic mechanical safety features on it. But it will always be faster to stop with the vehicle in gear because that way you will have mechanical engine braking helping stop the car. If it's in neutral you will be relying solely on the brakes to stop without helping from the engines resistance. Almost all cars nowadays have enough braking power to lock up all 4 wheels though so it won't necessarily make a big difference, it will just be a smoother slow down.

For fuel economy, there is no question that coasting in neutral increases fuel economy. Fuel may be cut to the injectors in new cars, but the resistance of the engine will slow the car...meaning that you can cost in neutral on a slight decline and gain speed or maintain speed, where you will lose speed while the engine is engaged because of the engine resistance. In either case, anyone not actively engaged in driving shouldn't be driving. For states with ridiculous laws like this, I don't know how they explain manual transmissions being legal at all. For those who care, I've gotten as high as 27 mpg out of a 1997 Chevy Blazer, a lot of that was tire pressure, taking off the spare tire arm (and putting it in the back, yes, I do need a spare tire), other simple weight reduction, coasting in neutral, slower acceleration and avoiding braking (meaning, if you see a red light 300 yards up, don't accelerate into it just to stop, try to time your speed so you can still be rolling when the light is green). Accelerating from a dead stop is your biggest wasted fuel consumption.

RPM band has a lot to with it, I find I do better at gas mileage on the rural stretches of highway where I can cruise at 83. If I go faster it is too much RPM, If I go slower than that around 75 (the speed limit) it is at 4500 RPM in 4 th gear and not the OD. or so it seems. I watch my tach like a hawk. Also, I wont get speeding tickets on the interstate at 83. you get 10 mph here from DPS. (wouldnt recommend if you have out of state plates they will stop you at the speed limit even sometimes)

Have any of you people actually seen the working components of an automatic transmission, or at least understand how they function? Unlike a manual transmission, automatic transmissions are designed with something known as an Overriding Clutch in "Drive" mode. What this does, is it allows the vehicle to coast whenever the vehicle is moving faster than the engine is propelling it. Thus, when you lift your foot from the throttle, while approaching a traffic light, stop sign; or indeed, when you are rolling down a steep hill without your foot on the accellerator, your transmission is "automatically" coasting. So... in the interest of obeying all traffic laws, and for safety sake... Always keep your foot firmly planted on the gas pedal, while traversing intersectons and travelling down steep hills. The patriotic pride, and sense of satisfaction of knowing that you are obeying the rules of the road to the letter of the law, will more than offset the additional costs in fuel and incidental deaths. Not to mention the savings from tickets you avoid from the Coasting Police.

I used to coast in neutral in my 94 'Civic 4 speed automatic. I was a student and I'm sure that saved fuel (modern cars do it now as well). I put older cars into neutral at lights sometimes, tends to make the car more quiet / transmit less vibrations.

Reading the comments below I observe the following : 1) Manufacturers user manual is wasted money 2) People priced their life less than cost of saved fuel. 3) Many thinks they know more about car engineering than the maker of this video. 4) Many believe that their reasoning cannot be wrong. So interesting. Personal experience: as a manual car driver for most of my life and very used to cruising on neutral to the stop at traffic lights. I had to drive a automatic for few weeks and not knowing better, I did the same. Soon after, the gearbox went funny and dead. I was told later that by shifting gears from neutral to drive frequently causes more damage to the gearbox than leaving it engaged all the time. A painful lesson. I am not qualified to argue on engineering, but I had to agree fully with this video as this is what I experienced in my daily driving. Leaving the engine engaged as recommended by the manufacturer feels to me the right thing to do.

what kind of car did you drive? I didnt blow the tranny in my oldest car when I by accident pushed the gear shifter to park with an elbow. I was driving and reached the radio and bumped the shifter with my elbow, since ti was an old car it made a funky sound and my front tires locked up.. it shifted to drive ok after that.. not like it broke the tranny, also if you have small accidents like once a decade or somethign with things like that it shouldn't break the tranny, the gearbox etc.

Most of the "stresses" you mention are absorbed by the ATF. You should advise that if you perform "launches" often then you should change your Transmission Fluid more often as this will help with longevity. ATF is complicated, the hotter it gets the faster it degrades, but if you keep the temps in check there isn't much to worry about. auxiliary coolers help...

It's common sense: when you are stopped in drive, the ECU will try to reach the same rpm level in both situations, but it has a limit on the fuel it can give in idle. The result is that in neutral it will usually be consuming half of the fuel it does on drive. That changes with the start&stop function, but even that has some limits, since starting the engine will use a lot more fuel than a 10 seconds idle time would. The conclusion is: always put the car in neutral on stops if you dont have start&stop (turn it off if you are at a closed railway), if you do have start&stop, estimate if it a reasonable timed stop (then let the car turn off) or if it is just a quick stop (then put it in neutral, since the function usually only works in drive). Drive safely!

1.Never coast downhill in neutral: Modern automatic transmissions cut fuel to the engine on their own, so putting your car in neutral won’t save you any gas. Also, it takes some control away from you and it’s illegal in 15 states (full list at the link below). 2.Never switch directions without stopping: Make sure you come to a complete stop before going from drive to reverse or vice versa. Otherwise, you’re using your transmission to stop the vehicle instead of letting your brakes do their job. 3.Never “launch” your vehicle: Don’t rev your car’s engine in neutral and drop into drive to launch yourself forward. It’s fast way to wear out the bands in your transmission (they’re expensive to replace). 4.Never put your car in neutral at a stop light: It won't save you any fuel (fractions of a gallon if any), and it can wear on the transmission. 5.Never shift into park until you’ve come to a complete stop: Some cars won’t even let you do this, but you should never do it anyway. You can damage or break the locking pin that’s used to keep your transmission from running.

Torque converter is always full of transmission fluid and rotates as one assembly, not in separate halfs like you showed. The turbine can sometime rotate separately from the housing, but mostly it's the stator in the middle that does the "power transfer". People in the know knows this, but not everybody and it might confuse them. Also, hold the brake and accelerating at the same time causes what is called "Converter stall" when impeller from the engine is supplying all the torque, but the turbine on the trans end cannot move. If held for more than 2 minutes, the torque converter can overheat.

The laws concerning coasting down hill in neutral are directed towards heavy trucks, not your car or pickup (unless you're pulling a trailer). In a truck such as a semi, you need all of the braking assistance you can get, especially going down hill. We truck drivers actually call "coasting" Georgia overdrive. As for what you kids call "launching" today, old guys like me call it a neutral drop or neutral slam. I don't know about these days, but, it used to be that the only people who did it were those that didn't have a car/truck that could burn the tires while in gear from a stop. It causes all kinds of damage. I've seen everything from broken drive shafts to cracked trans cases.

@wolflahti4128 жыл бұрын
There is a very good reason to shift into neutral at a stoplight, but neither stress on the transmission nor fuel savings is it. The reason is to avoid moving forward (into the back of the vehicle in front of you or, far worse, into cross traffic) if your foot slips off the brake. This could occur because of simple slipperiness or distraction - the dog or the kids or whatever.
@johnnanong87562 жыл бұрын
Agree, adding the fact that if you've been driving for a long time, and a stop-light that lasts for more than 3 minutes is quite tiring, may even result for you to let loose the breaks and slowly move the car forward. That's why "Never put your gear on Neutral on stop-light" is quite strong, probably better "There's no need to put your gear on Neutral on stop-light sign" would be precise. I also cannot hear him say anything that could damage the car in doing this. My rule is always been, if the traffic lights is 3 mins+ before it go, then I set it to Neutral + Hand break (just making sure I don't mistakenly move the vehicle).

@Jagerhund8 жыл бұрын
As he said, putting it in neutral slightly increases the engine rpm. This will allow the A/C unit to operate a little bit better since it is very inefficient at low rpms. Also, on many trucks and older vehicles, the engine cooling fan is mechanical (driven off of the engine, not electric) and therefor will cool the engine better at the increased rpm while standing still.
@heros21108 жыл бұрын
+William Yost There is a temperature sensor for this and many fans have an oil clutch. The oil reacts on higher temperatures with higher viscosity and thus the fan turns faster which leads in more cooling capacity. So you don't need to increase the rpm's purposely, in most cases.
@Jagerhund8 жыл бұрын
+heros2110 I understand the fan clutch. This let's the clutch nearly freewheel when not needed, but even engaged, the fan is still limited in speed by the engine's rpm. I did forget to mention this, so thanks for the additional input.
@matt4207408 жыл бұрын
+William Yost Even when a clutch fan is locked in due to temperature, they still slip under RPM to counter power loss. The fan clutch on my Chevy C1500 moves more air at idle than at 3000rpm. You can actually see the fan slow down as engine speed increases.

Sure, my car cuts off the fuel to the engine when going down a hill in gear - but this causes the engine to induce drag through the drive train, requiring me to accelerate up the next hill rather than coasting over it. I contend that I use more energy accelerating up a hill than I save going down one in gear. I don't buy your argument and, unless coasting actually damages the transmission, I'll continue doing it.

@kentaltobelli18402 жыл бұрын
If you shift to neutral and then have to apply the brakes you're wasting energy: engine consuming gas to keep idling + brakes throwing away kinetic energy as heat. The induced drag you feel coasting in gear is the amount of energy it takes to rotate the engine, yes it's noticeable which is why idling wastes gas! To minimize drag you can upshift to keep RPMs just above the normal idle speed of the vehicle.

What exactly does 'low key' even mean?
@Arborpress8 жыл бұрын
I heard somewhere that it's required in Russia to have a cam, I maybe wrong. That's why it seems like accidents happen more often there.

I have listened to so many people and read several comments on forums about whether to put auto transmission in Neutral while at a traffic light or in D mode/foot on brake, and it's all too confusing and varied. I decided to hit up Engineering Explained channel for Jason's take as I do hold his car knowledge and opinions in high regard. So I'm leaving it in D mode. end of :)

I stopped the video when he said you shouldn't put it on park while the vehicle is moving>> Really? Who does that?
@MikeUtoober8 жыл бұрын
someone who drives manual always and then the odd time drives auto, i always put my manual into 1st while moving coming to a stop and pull the ebrake to stop completely since i use it anyways. so going into an auto its just habit to go the direction of 1st which happens to also be the direction of park

I put my car in Park while going downhill. Edit: is it just me or are transmissions way too fragile?

So, AXLEGREASEframeset, AUTOMATIC transmissions are weak as hell and are designed for pussies! You need a MANUAL transmission. They are strong and are for people who can actually drive. When going downhill, put it "R" (for "Really slow"). HACK: double clutch to do this. No need to than me, bro. Just post a vid showing how this works. SM

Senor Mofeta BRO, you're such a scrub. R is Race Mode. You shift into it once you get past 5th gear. My nonexistent little brother knows that. ...if he existed, that is. In that case he'd be all like 'duh'.

"R" is for Rocket mode, obviously :D

@PatrickBaptist8 жыл бұрын
***** It's all about sentence context, remember he was talking about if "I, me, myself" died, not anyone else, so why would I care what they charge me with? I usually don't adhear to speed limits either, I mean just 1 mile over and you have broken the law.... But if I'm dead, I won't care what they charge my flesh with, they can have it LOL.

+Josh Williams As an ex mechanic, you're not the only one. Believe me. I've got more stories than i can remember fully about what people do to their cars. But mostly, cars can really take a lot of abuse without breaking. Just don't expect it to last as long as it would have otherwise, and expect the repair bill to be expensive.

+Josh Williams Yes. If a lever moves at the wrong time it breaks a car. That's why cars are stupid - lever should not move at the wrong time if someone tries it at the wrong time. This start by button is also stupid - I wanted to turn off a radio and I turned off an engine, at least I wasn't moving too fast.

Also wondering how you're "giving up control" if you coast. If you need to speed up, you can put it back to drive. No one said they're switching to N and ripping off the selector...

They utilize Mobile Waterboarding Units to coax a confession out of innocent motorists. Never admit to terroristic neutral coasting on public roadways! (Always carry fresh jelly donuts, for use as a roadside bargaining tool. Any crime can be overlooked, when a jelly donut is offered.)

Hello, One reason I put the gear in neutral at a stop is to reduce stress on the brakes.
