Yes, it is illegal to coast downhill with the transmission in neutral in some states because it can be considered dangerous and can lead to loss of control of the vehicle. It is important to check the laws in your specific state to determine if it is legal.

Why would the back wheels lock up on a manual transmission 86 camaro?

Answer why would the back wheels lock upTwo possible reasons: 1. The (older) manual transmission is stuck between gears. This happened to me once on a hill. With the car wanting to go downhill in reverse there was torque on the transmission and this held the manual transmission in that messed-up position. I could not even put my car in to neutral to coast out of the street. The tow truck operator that picked me up said that if I had had someone push the car slightly forward I could have gotten the tranmission into neutral.2. The back (drum) brakes were very recently rebuild and were assembled in reverse; they tightened up every time the brakes were used until they locked.

Why does your 2012 Ford Focus accelerate when hitting the brakes to stop?

The 2012 Ford Focus has a dual-clutch automatic transmission - this is basically a manual transmission that shifts automatically (more efficient, but also much different from your modern day automatic transmission). Because of this, as you hit the breaks, the car doesn't really coast in neutral - it downshifts through every gear. I myself have a 2012 Ford Focus. The transmission needs about 500-1000 miles to break-in the clutch. In addition, the transmission has fuzzy logic that adapts to your style of driving. You will notice that after that first 1000 miles or so, this won't be as noticeable. -Nick

Why is coasting wrong?

First, coasting is illegal in some countries and US- States and in Europe it would be a reason to fail the driving test. Second, a driver has no longer full control of the car. If you drive a manual transmission and coast in neutral you have to rely on your brakes only. You are no longer able to accelerate or use the engine brake until putting in a gear again. And this takes time. Maybe just a second, but one a driver doesn't want to spare in case of emergency. Putting the car in neutral and brake then is also shortening the life of the brakes dramatically. Shifting down properly and use both engine and mechanical brakes is the better way (and don't worry about the clutch, a clutch is designed for that). P. S. When it comes to automatic transmission I'm no help. No automatics in Germany, fortunately.
