Where is the best place to find the cheapest aftermarket car parts for a SUV?
Great question. I have also wondered about the same thing. And I do think that it would help the brakes to wear slower than usual especially in powerful cars that are in drive and are trying to go, but you put on the brakes and bring it to a stop. I also think it would help the engine and transmission by reducing the pressure on them. Next time you're driving, when you get close to a red light, shift to neutral and slowly hit the brakes. You'll notice that the car stops much faster than when you had it in drive.Why do some cars need premium unleaded and others can use the cheapie regular unleaded?
nope its just more wear and tear on the transmissionFor me it doesn't . guy's just say that to try to take stress off the tranns. I guess. I dont see the reason to do it.
Your car idles faster in neutral. If your rpms drop drastically, when you stop, putting it in neutral may prevent it from dying when you stop. Otherwise, there is no reason to do it.
Does it do any good? no. Does it do any bad? No.
Its neutral for a reason
Need to find a good sat nav by this weekend and only have £150.00 - HELP!?
Actually, you'll wear out the linkages in the transmission faster if you constantly change from neutral to drive. That means you'll be replacing a transmission sooner.What is the most luxurious limousine ?

What is the ugliest automobile ever?
It would be if you had a manual, you can give your clutch a longer life and relax your leg instead of holding the clutch down. I don't know about other vehicles, but my clutch is harder to keep pressure on than the brake; but I don't think it woud be worth it with an automatic. As previously stated, it will just wear out your transmission.Where can I find EQUUS RIMS size 20 style # 208 CAPS?
It depends on what kind of transmission you have you have in your vehicle. If it is an automatic, you don't need to shift out of drive at a stop. If it is a manual transmission, there are advantages and disadvantages. On the upside, if you put it in neutral and take your foot off of the clutch, you are saving wear and tear on the clutch parts. On the downside, this leaves the mainshaft turning inside the transmission. When you are moving, the gears in the trans are spinning and splashing the gear oil around onto the parts inside of it, keeping it lubricated. In neutral, they are not and you are putting wear on the mainshaft. with only the residual oil that is already on it. This could eventually cause it to go and you would need the transmission rebuilt or replaced. That being said, however, it will take a very long time for this part to wear out, and the clutch pressure plate is much more easily worn out, so you are saving yourself a much more immediate hassle by using neutral at a stop and saving wear on the clutch.Bob
Is it true that there is or was a scheme where the govment buys older cars off the owners?
Your engine will burn fuel at the same rate whether its idlingfaster in neutral or slower and resisting a load. (the brakes)
Studies were done during the 1970's gas shortage and the
ad council started advising drivers to shut off their engines if
they were sure they would be idling for more than 1 minute. If
you can be sure your engine will restart, that could make a difference.
Which is the quietest car available in the world?
No its not worth the hassle you really are not saving anything. And the transmission is designed for the way it is intended. thats why you put your foot on the brake to hold the car.Who would win out of 2007 corvette Z06 vs 2007 Lamborghini Murcielago?
Neutral means less pressure in the torque converter, so idling is 'easier'. BUT! When the light turns green, you are shifting into drive AND getting your foot on the gas at the same time. eventually, you will get the gas BEFORE the transmission is fully into forward gear and that will cause a large slam in the whole drive train (transmission, drive shafts, differentials, etc).. That will be WORSE than leaving the car in drive while idling at a stop light. Further still, since the engine turns ever so slightly slower when in drive versus when in neutral, your slower engine speed will save fuel, but maybe only a gallon or so per year.Any interesting cars I can research on?
All in all, leave the car in drive while you wait for the lights. And if I'm behind you, I'll be happier that you will begin moving about 0.2 seconds faster when you leave the car in drive!
