I've been told this is just asking for problems, that the transmission does not circulate fluid correctly when in neutral and moving and will cause overheating and transmission problems. I would also expect that this is hard on the PTU. Honestly, no need to do this if you just allow the car to coast down hills.

Many people will argue with you and say "Ive never had an issue and been doing it for 100 years on the same car" but you are 100% correct on the tranny, However I am not sure about the PTU that we use as I have never worked on one.
