Unless your transmission was specifically designed with the option to be shifted, (as some are) we don't know for certain what the consequences might be. I wouldn't want to find out the hard way, as I once did.
OTOH, it can be done effectively with a manual tranny - so that's the best option for utilizing coasting.
