I stumbled across a few arguments about whether you should leave an auto car in N or D at traffic lights. I go into N more often than not.
Unless someone with knowledge of what exactly happens inside a g/box when it shifts from N to D can enlighten, I would say that the wear when the car is in motion is drastically more significant than at a standstill.
The g/box is changing gears all the time at anything from 2-6000 rpm which must (?) be a lot more wearing than shiftinmg from N to D.
Cheers.
