what is neutral mode and why does it still exist in cars?
In: 0
Neutral is when none of the gears in the transmission receiving power from the engine.
Neutral mode allows the car to be pushed/rolled around. If the vehicle is dead, having neutral means it can still be towed/pushed out of the way.
Also, as you’re switching gears, the car goes to neutral and then the new gear is switched-to.
Manual transmission drivers also shift into neutral when they stop.
