The Taurus has an odd behavior that you may have noticed...
Shifting to Neutral while coasting, increases RPM to potentially match the gear re-engagement. Same for downshifting from OD to D -- it actually speeds up and offers little compression.
I have some concerns about iGEO-CIA (In-Gear Engine Off Coasting in Automatics). [Acronyms are fun!]
The torque converter is locked with no fluid pressure to the remaining components. I would highly recommend flipping to neutral and use the starter. It's a lot easier to replace than a tranny.
