Noticed something today on Marvin, he has a 3 speed hydraulic torqueflite derived transaxle....
Below 2000 rpm, if I put it into neutral for a second or two, then put it back in drive it appears not to engage drive until I press the gas again... thus you can be "neutral coasting" while still having instant access to acceleration should you require it... it appears to stay out even when you brake to a stop, and only engage when you touch the gas again. It does seem however to go back into drive fully when over 2000 rpm, guess that's because the tranny can still push the engine. Seems to need a certain amount of push from either side to engage, and lacking that stays out.
However, I think I remember one time a while back, I shifted into N, then went back to D and coasted down to a stop without brake use... and it sat there 5-10 seconds and then engaged drive slowly and began to crawl again. I didn't make any connections then about it staying in N though.

Without fuel, they were nothing..thundering machines sputtered & stopped..Only those mobile enough to scavenge, brutal enough to pillage would survive. The gangs took over the highways, ready to wage war for a tank of juice
