wait you seriously think neutral drops doesn't hurt the tranny?!?! HAHA if you had ever rode in my old escort you'd think differently. Granted its only an escort with a ****ty trans, same rules apply. After doing so many n dumps in that thing, it wouldn't even move in drive anymore. I had to put it down into first and shift it manually for it to even go, and everytime it shifted the whole car shuddered so bad my radio would fall out hahahaha. fun times. anyways, good luck with that!
