Re: Will this kill my transmission?

Many modern vehicles cut or reduce fuel while decelerating in gear down to a certain RPM. Going into neutral requires fuel to keep the engine at idle, but none (or very little) is required to keep the engine at 3000 while decelerating because the momentum of the vehicle is turning the engine.

Just leave it in drive.

Braking in neutral won't hurt anything.
