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.

Are you coasting if in gear with clutch in?
Of course you are coasting. The clutch has disengaged the transmission (no matter what gear) from the engine.
Can you save gas by coasting down hills?
Yes coasting downhill will save you fuel. However do not do this with a vehicle equipped with automatic transmission. You will damage the automatic transmission by coasting. You can do this with a manual transmission but do not shut the engine off. This would cause you to loose power steering and power brakes.
Is shifting to neutral with an automatic transmission and coasting down hills detrimental to the car's engine and transmission?
This is not something I would recommend you do. It may do no harm and yet it may very well cause a build up of pressure and transmission problems. It will not hurt the engine at all, but I would not do this for fear of hurting the transmission. I am not sure if it will hurt or not, so until you know for sure, do not do it. My guess is that this may do harm. A new transmission can be very expensive.
What is the meaning of over drive function in automatic transmission cars?
overdrive in automatic is same as in manuel (stick shift) overdrive is basically an extra gear that drops engine revs it is sort of like coasting once you get up to speed where over drive will kick in
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.
