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.

Check your shifter connection at the firewall. You may still be in gear but your shift coupler is toast. Pull back the boot and take a look.

You mean you can still be in gear a little bit? I thought it was all or none. I don't understand the gear meshing stuff! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

sometimes when gear oil is cold it has enough viscosity to actually move the gears slightly.... thats what causes this, I see it alot.

Growing up with bugs and teeners in Michigan this always happened.

I've even seen the effect on a warm summer's day... The car was idling on a lift, both rear wheels in the air. One of them was turning slowly. If you grabbed it, it stopped easily, but the other one slowly started to turn. If you grabbed both, they would stop. When you let go, the one would eventually start to turn again. It was quite weird, but not abnormal.

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. |
