honestly i don't think it is all that bad for an auto tranny. look at tow trucks as an example. ever seen a fwd car being towed somewhere with the car being pulled backwards, so the front wheels are turning in reverse and the rear wheels are up on the tow truck? or rear wheel drive car being towed with the rear wheels on the ground and the front's up in the air. i've even seen AWD subaru's being towed with 1 set of wheels on the ground and the other set up on the tow truck.

i am guessing that if moving vehicles like that was at all bad for the tranny's, the tow truck drivers would get fired for blowing up customers trannies. where are all these recently fired tow truck drivers? tbhey are not around...

that is why i guess that eoc is not too bad for a automatic. i wouldn't want to pull a car thousands of miles with the engine off but coasting around town shouldn't hurt anything.

i have actually towed my car using a tow strap and a friend's car 50 miles home with the engine off when the engine quit running a year ago. thats 50 miles of eoc on my auto tranny.

maybe you praticular trans has some issue i don't know about but automatic in general does fine with eoc.
