I don't know guys. But All I know is that when I coast in gear, the Rpm's drop like a rock, I coast a lot farther, and even when I hit my brakes, it still coasts far. In neutral, it drops about half of what in gear does, I coast about half the distance, and I know it's using fuel. Plus my owners manual says not to go over 30 in neutral. So Basically, I only use neutral when I'm below about 17, where I'm coming to a stop and the brakes have to overpower the engine to stop it. It shifts into first if I put it in gear, which is the gear it's supposed to be in anyway.
