Unless the engine is physically turning, the tranny pump isn't pumping...

I would rather have a warm fuzzy by just neutral coasting an automatic, engine on. I would think engine off coasting in gear with an automatic would cause compression braking, and wear and tear on the restarts, etc. Not for me, sorry. Good luck on that. Way too much work and way too much risk.
