There 'are' reasons it is illegal to coast downhill in neutral and they go triple for a short wheelbased Jeep. When you coast in neutral, it unloads the suspension making everything just flop around loose. This can translate to marginal wear that you wouldn't normally notice in say shackles, springs, bushings, tie rod ends, etc all adding up to give a serious loss of control. When you are in gear, all these parts get under a torque load that keeps things at one side of their wear pattern which keeps it stable.

Re: Woah.. worth a read esp modded gear people
Also, when you keep the clutch engaged the RPM of the clutch will not exceed
the RPM of the engine. If you simply must coast with the engine disengaged, take it out of gear and leave the clutch in. It's still a bad idea, though. You can bet that if that guy had engaged the clutch before it blew while at speed he would have been buying a new motor, too.

To me it's a safety issue...coasting with clutch disengaged or in neutral
means you aren't in full control of the vehicle.

Re: Woah.. worth a read esp modded gear people
WOW I had no idea. I don't do it for long stretches - If I'm going
down a driveway or parking lot I tend to put it in neutral, push the clutch in, and wait till I know what gear I'll need. If there are no cars at the bottom of the small incline - 2nd, and if a car approaches, 1st. I'm always in 5th on the highway even down steep hills. Thanks for the xtra info. Sorry for making you think I ride around in neutral! |
