low budget bracket racing blues

I have been told by some old mopar guys not to put a 727 in nuetral and coast down the return road. They say that when its it nuetral that the bushing in the tailshaft is not getting lubed that it only recieves fluid when the car is in gear.


So if, I want to shut off and coast down the return road should I leave it in 1st?? I'm curious, because I usually shut it off in 1st and then slip it into neutral after I shut it off.
