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.

Re: Woah.. worth a read esp modded gear people
While I totally agree its a stupid idea to coast in neutral, I don't buy
your argument - automatic transmissions effectively coast on the overrun.

Re: Woah.. worth a read esp modded gear people
To me it's a safety issue...coasting with clutch disengaged or in neutral
means you aren't in full control of the vehicle.
