Ya! I get in this morning (a wee bit coolish out) and take it outta gear & start it. I get a slight movement. Starter is pulled down a bit like the battery is low. Still, the car outta gear but I push in the clutch for the 2nd try of starting it. It starts and I let out the clutch (still outta gear) & the engine drags down with a slight movement forward. What is happening here? This doesnt make sense to me. If it's outta gear there shouldn't be any way for forward propulsion.

You can also see this effect on the hiway. You will often see 4x4's going down the road and the front driveshaft is spinning. They aren't in 4wheel drive - the shaft is free-wheeling. It's just the 'stiction' of the gear oil between a driven part and a non-driven part.
-Ben M. ps - stiction isn't really a word as far as I know, but it gives you the right idea. |
