yes the water pump will be going slower and cooling less, however the engine wouldn't need the extra cooling because it would be going slow as well.. and the coasting would provide extra air flow through the radiator/engine bay so coasting is better for your engine when it comes to heat related issues

 

coasting saves on te clutch too :chuckles:

 

uh sure.... if a clutch is engaged, and the engine doesn't ahve enough torque to make it slip to begin with, there is no wear on it. There is only wear when it is being engaged or disengaged....

 

BTW... its against the law to coast on the highway

 

where exactly?

 

how could they tell? wonder what state that's for

 

[sarcasm] Yes, since civics have driveshafts [/sarcasm]

Bullshit.

 

thats because you're not in control of your car when your coasting in neutral

 

how are you not in control....push in the clutch....coastin....depress the clutch..not coasting...where is the non control?

 

you'r not in control...cause you're in neutral... so in order you get in control, you press clutch ..and shift into gear. i assume the logic is that you will be able to quickly accelerate and maneuver to avoid accidents easier.....

"13 AAC 02.515. Coasting Prohibited
The driver of a motor vehicle, when traveling upon a highway, may not drive the vehicle with its gears or transmission in neutral, with its clutch disengaged, or otherwise cause the vehicle to coast. "

thats a quote from a state law book...
