Yes

At least it does for 6 speeds... I would image an auto would not change that though.

i was wondernig what would happen if i shut my car off by turning the key when i was going on the freeway?

Not much in a manual... slow down rather quickly due to engine braking.... pretty much the same in an auto but as stated not good for the transmission..... could get interesting if you lock the ignition when you turn the key with a pending turn.....

Re: wierd question

The transmission will attempt (and maybe succeed) to eject from your vehicle

Re: wierd question

Back in the day, 15 years ago, I would be driving down the road in my 302 Granada, drop it in 2nd, turn the key off, pump the gas twice, then turn the key back on. What happened? BOOM!!! And a foot long flame out the tailpipe. Scares the hell out of people walking down the street. BTW, 3 pumps of the gas pedal is too much. It'll blow the muffler apart...
