I have a '93 Civic auto that I've made a habit of coasting in N, but with the engine on.
I have found that shifting back to D at anything under 45-50 mph results in the rpms jumping way up as the car suddenly slows to get into gear. This can be bad if I have a tailgater riding behind me as I coast, since the car will engine brake and suddenly slow.
A couple of days ago I was surprised that I accidentally shifted into R instead of D while coasting along at around 35 - 40 mph. Nothing happened , but I thought this wasn't possible without some sort of damage.
