I like the idea of this thread. with automatics being so popular it is getting harder to find used cars with manual shift transmissions.

Synthetic trans fluid is available and can be used in most makes of car cd.

I always wondered about coasting. If I coast in gear my engine revs is 200rpm lower than if I am in nuetral. Once I stop the rpms go right back to the factory set idle. My question is.. Is the engine load of being in gear (foot off pedal) worse than the additional rpm caused by (I am assuming) a ram air effect of the car moving forward. I have seen this in a few cars even my old 95 civic.
