CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Engine "Braking".......Does it hurt the motor ???

What about the lubrication circuits in an automatic trans, rolling 100+ mph with no lube supplied by the pump when you click the engine off?

I put my TH-400 in 2nd range at the stripe (no braking) and let the engine idle. Someone scared me out of taking it to neutral as I always had done previously.

I don't like the engine braking, because free load rpms are always bad, in my opinion.
