Multi-grade synthetic oils weren't available to the public when the manual was written, so the warm-up procedure might change.

Sure......understood I also wasn't sure the take away should possibly be that letting it idle in neutral was hard on the throw out/ pilot bearing or that the car could accidentally slip into a gear while warming up unattended.


Is this your 1st manual transmission car?

How is the transmission going to "slip" into a gear? It has to be forced.

Throw out bearing mostly under stress when you push in the pedal while shifting gears or at a stop sign or light.


No not the first, but it has been a while since we've had a manual in the family.
And still learning about the 914 and its traits.

Sort of why I started the thread, didn't know the answer or how important /non-important it was to start and drive immediately .

The other question I should have asked is, Does it actually hurt the car/engine to idle in Neutral?


Those of us with carbs have to sit and warm up, because our cars won't idle until there's some heat in the system. IDF/DRLA carb setups for TIV's don't have chokes to control idle speed when cold.

If it hurt your car to idle in neutral, then you wouldn't be able to stay still at stoplights.

BTW, your bat cave avatar pic is in NC. I've passed it driving down I-40 on the way to Asheville.


Wow, I saw it somewhere a few years ago on the web saved it and always thought it was a "Meme", Didn't know it was a actual sign.

I have shoot in the old Bat cave (in Hollywood) from the 60's Benson cave.
Sorry for the hijack.

It's as simple as this: basically ALL the wear on the engine occurs between when the car is started, and when it reaches operating temps. Anything you can do to reduce that time will lead to less wear. It heats up faster driving, and with a light load, you're not putting too much stress on things. It's a balance...

Also, oil is only being splashed around effectively at engine speeds above idle.
