It depends on your type of automatic. Some pumps are driven by the engine, others by the wheels. A friend of mine burned up his high ratio gears by coasting 5 miles, once, so it's good to know for sure which you have. The dealer should know. But my experience with people who coast automatics has always been that they NEVER know.
