Does anyone know, mechanically speaking, if switching between drive and neutral on an automatic transmission is harmful to the transmission?
Read in your owners manual how your car should be towed. I know for a fact that in auto tranny jeeps it is very harmful to coast in neutral as the trannys stop getting oil and burn up. other than special cases if neutral was bad for trannys to be placed into it would be like reverse very hard to get into when moving forward with speed
