Based on my understanding of Question 76 which says something about coasting in neutral vs in gear. The logic is the same for stop vs coasting. The real question is whether fuel supply will be cut off in order to save fuel.
The text is ".......Modern fuel injection engines cut off the fuel supply to the cylinders when you lift your foot off the accelerator pedal, BUT ONLY IF THE CAR IS IN GEAR."
(Please note words in CAP. Hence, if the car is not in gear, the fuel supply will not be cut off. Think quite a number of ppl (myself included) think that engaging neutral and let the car roll slowly towards the traffic red light saves fuel. The above text says otherwise.)

MT is using clutch and gear, when you step the clutch, it disengage, but driver still turning.
AT is by fluids, that is why when you let go brakes, it moves. Nothing is being damage. Go read up more and you will understand. :thumbsup:
