alright well that confuses me... when you coast in neutral versus drive on an automatic... your wheel speed stays the same or slowly decreases (you are coasting), its your engine speed that drops.

I would see your point if it was the other way around, that your tranny pump was run off your engine. But if your tranny pump is run off the wheels then it shouldnt matter what the engine/tranny is doing, drive or neutral... where am I wrong?
