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.
Yes; it could damage the transmission.
No ... A bad neutral safety switch will let the car start in any gear,but will not prevent the car from going into reverse
If you are driving under 30 MPH it probably won't do much damage, but shifting to neutral at highway speeds and you will ruin your engine. If you start skidding on an icy road (probably going 20 MPH or less) shifting to neutral will take you out of the skid and stop your vehicle immediately. Doing this spared me from colliding with another car when I was skidding in snowy weather.
yes it can
There shouldn't be any play in the linkage. If there is you have a bad linkage. Make sure its adjusted properly before you check for play
Yes it does if the car is moving. Because the CV joint is part of the axil if the car is moving the bad CV joint will be moving too. or No it will not make noise if the car is in neutral and the car is not moving.
If you have to wiggle the shift lever in park or neutral to get the starter to crank the engine, the neutral safety switch is probably worn or out of adjustment.
yes ,because when moving in neutral u are not properly lubricationg your transmission
Synchro's are going bad inside the trans, should only be an issue while moving.
No.
It shouldn't but you might want to make sure you put your emergency brake on, because park keeps your car from moving.
no, but dont shift the trans to first when you are going 70
The neutral safety switch, release switch, or brake switch is bad.
ou probably have a bad side stand safety switchY
maybe neutral safety switch is bad try moving shifter put in neutral
Yes, you could severely damage a transmission by shifting into reverse while moving forward. But the odds of the transmission actually going into reverse are not good because there are safety mechanisms in place to prevent it from happening.
Yes; it could damage the transmission.
