I tried a neutral coast once... never gain. The horrid clunk that it made when it went back into gear made me fear for a very expensive towing bill from outside Ottawa to London (9 hours at this truck's pace). It also complained horribly for the next 6-7 gear shifts. I don't dare try to EOC in this beast. Scary. I would LOVE to have a talling FD in the back and a 5-speed manual tranny. I think i'm just going to sell the damn thing and buy a small SUV and aluminum tandem axel trailer for race car instead.
