I think if i do end up damaging my transmission i will be able to get a new one for a decent price (i've seen auto trannys for my car on ebay/craigslist for <$200) and i can do the repair myself.

Yeah, I've learned that I will still have to do some eoc to trains and long lights. But I will do it once the car reaches under 45 as fuel cut off will take place up until then anyways.

I plan on keeping this car till it dies. So when the day comes that the auto tranny dies. Guess who is converting his car to a manual transmission? Saying that goes out before anything else.

How long do guys coast on an EOC? What speeds do you start and when do you stop EOCing (and re-engage the engine)? Just curious since I don't EOC.

I can't get any further than a mile in mine starting at 60. There is one hilly part I go down like once a week that I can get a mile coast and maintain 50-60 mph.

I usually plan it to start back on when I'm stopped, but occasionally i'll time it wrong it have to start back up around 30 or rolling speeds.
