Drive to Neutral shift

[roverz]

Is there a physical or electronic connection that shifts between Drive and Neutral?

Wondering if there is anyway to push button the shift between Drive and Neutral as i like to shift into Neutral down hills or up to stop lights.

can you shift from drive to neutral while driving?

It is part physical (when you move the shift lever, it moves the lever on the DTR sensor on the trans + it moves a link inside the trans) and part electronic (the DTR signal is read by the PCM and the appropriate solenoids are turned on or off).

I don't think it would be simple to add an electric switch to engage N.

That would be a cool idea, as I do the same thing when approching red lights, or down hill roads. But like dog said, I believe its both mechanical and electric.

Just don't get caught, shifting into neutral is illegal.
