I tried autostop once in a 69 fury at 45mph,In reality I was power shifting the auto colum shifter, ie showing off and it went like this, 1st, 2nd slapped to drive but slapped to hard and ended up in park and could not get out of park, so I paniced and turned the engine off yes lots of noises & a tow home..
It really has negitive results on the drive train..
