Shadetree your explanation would explain why my car would still keep the engine rotating when i turn it off and the TC (torque converter) isn't locked. Thanks for explaining that, would have been wondering about that for a while.

Looks like my crazy idea dies here, (unless i get a pump).

Thanks all that posted for your help

If you're considering flat towing, or extended coasting periods with the engine off in neutral, you can alleviate worry of transmission damage by using what amounts to a fish tank pump to keep the fluid flowing in the transmission while the engine is off.

You plumb it either inline w/ the transmission cooler, or tee off the lines and make a loop from input to output.
