Can an automatic transmission car coast in N gear?
1 Answers
Yes, but do not coast for a long time, because when coasting, the engine is idling, so the transmission lubricating oil flow is insufficient (the oil pump is driven by the engine)! Long-term coasting will burn out the transmission due to poor lubrication. This is also the reason why vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions are prohibited from being towed for long distances over long periods of time. The following is an introduction to the gears of an automatic transmission: P gear: the abbreviation of English parking, parking gear. After shifting into P gear, the vehicle's transmission will be locked. R gear: the abbreviation of English Reverse, reverse gear. When reversing, use R gear, and the car can go backwards. N gear: the abbreviation of English neutral, neutral gear.
