Will coasting hurt a cars transmission?

No, coasting will not hurt your car's transmission. In fact, it can help save gas and extend the life of your transmission by reducing wear and tear on the clutch or torque converter. When you coast, the engine is not engaged with the transmission, so there is no power being transmitted to the wheels. This means that the clutch or torque converter is not engaged and is not subject to wear and tear. Additionally, coasting can help you save gas by reducing engine speed and engine load, which in turn reduces fuel consumption.
