Thought I'd through out a bad experience I had yesturday while going from engine off cost to restart. I was on a down hill part of the highway, and had the CVT coasting with the engine off. I started taking my foot off the brake around 10 miles per hour, and it felt like I rearended someone. The car made a loud snap sound, and almost sounded like the tranny fell out. Scared me, and just thought I'd post that if you are going to coast at higher speeds holding the brake with the engine off, get it back into neurtral, let it restart, then pull it back into drive. Anyone else had this experience?
