Coasting with an Auto

Today was the first time i tried drifting down a hill (engine not on). I just put into N, killed the engine, coasted down this one hill for about a mile, and then restarted when it was needed. I have heard that this can be bad for certain auto trannies. I have also heard that it isn't bad on saturns (i don't plan on doing this too often because it is hard on the starter).
