I have a 93 Mazda 626 Does it hurt the automatic transmission to shift to neutral while going downhill and shift back to drive for better gas milage?
It won't hurt. As long as the engine is running the transmission fluid is being circulated, keeping everything lubricated and the fluid cooled. As to if you will actually get better fuel consumption or not, I can't say. Out of gear the engine will use fuel, and in gear it wont. In gear the engine will slow the car down, and out of gear it won't. Which of the two above will give better mileage?
