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.

I drove a manual transmission for years and practiced the same method.

Don't launch your vehicle at a high rpm spin/neutral switch [4:03]. 4. Don't put car in neutral at a stop light [7:15]. 5. Same thing as #2. Stop before you put it in park [10:05].

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.

Extra: use the *Handbrake* when you park your car. Trust me, don't just stop and put the gear in P; It's better to stop, put it in Neutral, pull the Handbrake (then release the brake pedal), and then you put it in P (it will preserve your Transmission's lock that is active in the P position). Doing that you'll put all the car's weight into the Handbrake, not into the Transmission.

I'm curious about something, it was a bit of an argument that I got into, and I want a definitive answer to settle this. WILL/COULD/DOES shifting from drive to neutral and back cause any damage? Example: When trying to stop short, & u need the engine to detatch from drivetrain, b/c IDK, rev hang, whatever - FULL BRAKES, NO POWER is the idea, like how manuals can do. Does Neutral damage an auto trans?
@JettXxB
@JettXxB 2 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.

One time I was parked on a very steep hill (facing down the hill), and accidentally put reverse instead of drive and let off the brakes. Oh man, that grinding noise. The engine stopped after a while, but disengaged the brakes' booster, so I was going down hill with minimal control, heading towards an intersection. When. I finally stopped (I didn't crash), the car wouldn't turn on for about 5 minutes. I thought I had fucked up my mom's SUV! When the engine turned on, the shifts weren't working properly and the engine sounded weird. I told my mom about the incident (as I thought we would've had to buy a new gearbox), but after four days the car returned to it's normal functioning. Up until now, I still don't know what happened or why it didn't get fucked up, but I'm glad it didn't.

To me, this is like the same as doing this in a manual transmission vehicle, except for the fact that you can put it in reverse as long as you want but as long as you keep the clutch depressed, nothing bad will happen. I almost wrecked a 5-gear manual transmission once after driving a 6-gear transmission for a while, as I got so used to pull the stick back from 5 to 6. The Ford I was driving does NOT provide a security-feature like pulling a ring or pressing the stick down to get it in reverse... so yeah...

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.

funny, I do the opposite, I dont worry about removing crap from my truck, stil have spare tire, and all the crap holding it under the bed, etc. I do coast in N on hills, but I get 22-24 MPG when Im not caught up in traffic jams, my truck is rated by the EPA at 18-20 but the average was around 17 with what they measured, remember they use both city IE LA traffic patterns, and Highway coasting at 55or 65 MPH I can't remember which. 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.

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.

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.

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.
@johnnanong8756
@johnnanong8756 2 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).

@Jagerhund
@Jagerhund 8 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.
@heros2110
@heros2110 8 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.
@Jagerhund
@Jagerhund 8 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.
@matt420740
@matt420740 8 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.

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.
