is it good to put the car w/ auto transmission into neutral at stop lights?

[nuggyboy]

I've always wonder about this, is it better to put an auto tranny car into neutral or just leave it in Drive at a stop light? Or Will there be any harm in the future to the car if you put it into neutral at stop lights? becuz whenever I put it into neutral at a light I keep on thinking that it would be bad for the car since im working the transmission too much.

if there is no slope.... then go ahead

but if there is... please dont :)

[nuggyboy]

I do hit the breaks when I put it in Neutral. I just wanted to know if it'll harm the transmission if I keep on moving it back and forth at every stop lights

I would not do it if I were U. If U keep doing this, U would be nuttyboy :D
Reasons:
1) more work for trans
2) gas mileage goes down
3) more work for engine

If anyone knows how car works, they understand what I'm talking about :)

Coldwind is right! I would not recommend putting in neutral at stop lights...this will cause more tear and wear to the tranny! Just step your brake firmly...you will be fine.
