so i was reading about the whole brouhaha regarding toyota sticking gas pedals. some people commented that some electronically controlled transmissions may prevent the driver from shifting from drive into neutral if the engine is under load. is this true? and what would be the purpose of such a feature? i have never heard of any auto trans that prevents shifting into neutral under any condition.
