With newer AT's I have no idea what would happen. When I'm driving with the engine off, and forget, and down shift, it does nothing. It just stays in N. So I freak out a little and turn the key, but it wont start because it's still on 2nd or something. My brakes stop working when I drive with the engine off some times, down shifting is my instinctive other braking option, so I've done this twice... I keep the engine running now. But if it can be in 2nd and decide it should really be in N and then it was started, it could work out fine, or possibly really bad, but the torque converter is a good thing.
