I found myself going into neutral at long interval stop lights lately.
Aside from the general coolant and transmission fluid/filter maintenance, my theory is this will help cool the transmission and hopefully prolong its lifespan.
Heat is the number one killer in most transmissions. I think this especially holds true if in a hotter climate area blasting the AC at max capacity. On top of that, I believe going into neutral reduces clutch pack wear inside the transmission as well as reduce heat produced by the torque converter.
I've read mixed opinions on this, some say it's not worth it, others say it will help minimally, what's your opinion?
