When engine is off? Will keeping it in gear while engine is off hurt tranny?
I have got the hang of the ENGINE OFF Cruise now. PRetty sweet technique when rolling hills are involved.
Here is my procedure...let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
Get car going about 50-55mph just b4 reaching crest of hill, shift to neutral, turn key back one click(engine dies), dont touch brakes, coast with engine off for as far as possible until speed get to about 30MPH, push in clutch, shift to 5th, turn key back on, let clutch out, engine is on again and off I go.
Is this correct? Seems to be with other conversations I have read.
My only question is do I have to put car in neutral while coasting or can i leave it in 5th gear while engine is off?
