Why is coasting dangerous when driving a car?

Because, if the car is in neutral, you have no ability to accelerate pushing the gas pedal.


What is coasting in a car?

Letting gravity roll the car along... as on a hill or gradient.... and with the engine off or the gears in neutral.


You had your car in neutral while coasting down a hill and while coasting at the bottom at about 20-25mph you accidentally shifted into reverse did you seriously damage your transmission?

You would have to try it yourself and see. Please report back your results here.


Will coasting hurt a cars transmission?

I don't believe so. Coasting is basically doing the same thing as driving, only you're not on the gas pedal. If you're driving a manual, then it's basically driving in neutral assuming you're on the clutch.


Your car suddenly drags when coasting speed reaches 20mph could this be transmission or brakes?

Try putting in neutral at the time and see if it makes a difference. I had a similar problem w/1991 Lincoln and found that it was a recall from Ford. When brakes got warm they would apply, due to defective master cylinder


Is it bad to shift car into neutral while moving?

pushing slowly around a parking lot or repair shop lot...no. towing ..always tow with drive wheels off the ground. "coasting"...placing transmission in neutral at highway speeds and coasting downhill, for example, very bad for transmission and also illegal in most jurisdictions. Reason: lubrication of internal components is considerably reduced and results in abnormal wear and early transmission failure. Coasting is classified as not having the vehicle under proper control because of the lack of engine braking capability, and also not being able to accelerate immediately if such action is required. Hope this clarifies the issue.
