Coasting in neutral
Is coasting in neutral bad for manual transmission? I have been doing it alot. I usually pop it into neutral on my way home on a big hill where I can coast almost a mile where I have to stop and turn anyway. I was wondering if coasting would cause something to not get lubericated?

no it causes no harm in a standard, no damage in an automatic no damage NOTE: neutral will... prevent DFCO from engaging and will wear out the brakes faster (no engine braking available) but no damage whatsoever. |

If you coast in neutral with the clutch in, you're putting unneccessary wear on the throwout bearing. If you're going to coast in neutral, just be sure to let the clutch out.
Do look up DFCO, though. In FL, there really aren't many hills that are steep enough or long enough for you to benefit from neutral coasting. But, you can gain a lot from in-gear coasting with DFCO. |

Great, thanks for advice. I have always coasted a lot. I will keep the DFCO option in mind. I had no idea the Yaris did that.

I thought using DFCO was more beneficial than coasting?
hmm.

Hypermilers take it a step further and coast in neutral - with the engine off.
