What I'm talking about (and I'm hoping I'm understanding and stating the intended scenario correctly) would be taking an A/T out of drive and shifting it into neutral at a relatively high speed (let's say 60); then coasting until (for example) 40 MPH, and putting it back into drive while still moving at the new lower speed (40, or whatever).
Back in the old days doing this would fry the clutches on an automatic transmission. (I found that out the hard way.)
