Going from OD to Neutral

My buddy has a stock rebuilt 4l60e in a 2000 SS with a Trans Go shift kit. He likes to shift from OD to Neutral... a lot. haha

How bad is this for the tranny? She he not be doing it? The reasons behind this behavior? No idea... but i'd appreciate any info.

Well it really shouldnt hurt anything as long as hes no reving it up before he drops it back in lol , maybe some long term additional wear on the forward clutch and input sprag is all i can think of

I don't think it hurts anything.

Maybe he wants to coast sometimes...and the converter wants to stay locked forcing engine-braking (like mine).
