why do automatic cars have gear neutral?

For revving at a stoplight

The same reason why a manual has one, my nigga.

To disengage the transmission?

This. Except for that manuals don't really have an "N" selection.

In case of emergency where you need to disengage the trans to send power to the drive wheels, e.g. car wont stop accelerating/stuck throttle.

because toyota

This

Its also really fucking hard to push a car in park, drive or reverse

when the car is off, drive and reverse are the same as neutral.

>>14858919
But you most likely need the car to be on (and in neutral) to be able to push or pull the car if you need to steer.

>>14858939
by on, I mean running. And if its running, why are you pushing. Yes you need the key to be in accessory or ignition on, but unless the engine is running, R N D are the same thing. Without hydraulic fluid being pumped, the clutches can't engage a gear.

Then I guess N is just for people to rev their lolomatics at people or for anyone who bought a Toyota and doesn't want to die.

Obviously for towing behind an rv/ large truck, or so retards don't shift from drive to reverse by accident or the other way around

You are a legitimate retard thanks for triggering me.

>>14858919
you've been inhaling too many fumes anon.

>R N D are the same thing

R & D - internal clutches engaged
N - clutches disengaged

>>14858744
They do, it's just not marked "N".

>>14858632
Because they creep if left in D, and P slowly fucks up the transmission if there's any strain on it whatsoever.

For checking transmission fluid while it's running

That's where you need to put the shifter when you rev your mom's 87 turbo 4runner to 6k rpm before dumping it into drive to make the tires chirp
