To induce fuel cut off without decelerating using neutral or the clutch will cause the engine to stop turning completely until the clutch is released, which is good.

What you can do to induce fuel cut off is a) put the trans in neutral or clutch in b) turn the engine 1 notch down toward off , this will stop the motor, then put the ignition back up 1 notch to the run/on position in preparation for putting it back in gear when the coast is near over c) release the clutch when ready to drive.

Doing it this way you can coast in neutral with the fuel cut off.

I I guess if you wanted you could turn the ignition off in gear , at higher rpm if you wanted but it would not gain as much as neutral would.
