Questions about EOC and automatic transmissions
Hello,
I drive a 1996 Nissan Maxima, which has a 3 speed automatic transmission with overdrive. I have heard that you cannot tow a vehicle that has an automatic transmission without first removing the drive shaft (RWD) or front axles (FWD) because there are parts in the transmission spinning with no pump lubercating them with transmission fluid. The pump is not running without the engine running, but I would assume it takes a while for the transmission parts to drip dry of transmission fluid. My question is, would it be okay for me to practice engine off coasting for fairly short distances?
Again, My car is a 1996 Nissan Maxima
My transmission is a Jatco RE4F04A Automatic with overdrive and lockup torque converter.
