Is coasting in neutral gear harmful to an automatic transmission car?
1 Answers
Coasting in neutral gear can damage the transmission of an automatic transmission car. Additional information: 1. When an automatic transmission car is shifted into neutral gear while driving, the oil pump in the automatic transmission cannot supply oil normally for lubrication, which will cause the temperature of internal components to rise and lead to complete damage. 2. Coasting in neutral gear refers to the operation method where the driver places the gear lever in the neutral position while the vehicle is moving, separating the clutch between the engine and the drive wheels, and using the vehicle's inertia to move. Coasting in neutral must be performed under the condition of ensuring safety and normal vehicle technical condition. It is not allowed to coast with the engine off, especially when going down steep or long slopes, coasting with the engine off or in neutral gear is prohibited.
