tips and techniques on how to drive

Coasting
WARNING!
Do not coast with the transmission in
neutral or with the clutch pedal de
-
pressed—it is a dangerous practice.
Coasting in neutral may result in dam
-
age to your drivetrain when you try
to re-engage the transmission. You
could lose control of the vehicle which
can lead to an accident involving death
or personal injury.
Do not coast with the transmission
in neutral or with the clutch pedal
depressed. Besides being illegal and
dangerous, coasting is also expensive.
It causes premature failure or damage
to the clutch and transmission and
overloads the brake system.
Coasting with
the transmission
in neutral also prevents proper
transmission component lubrication.
During coasting the transmission is
driven by the rear wheels, and the
countershaft gear (which lubricates
the transmission components by oil
splash) will only be turning at idle
speed.
