Forward motion in Neutral
Hi guys,
I have a 98 Civic LX 5spd. The clutch is new, 15000km on it. I had it running the other day while it was jacked up, and the front tire was spinning while the transmission was in neutral. Is this supposed to happen? t |
Re: Forward motion in Neutral
well it wasn't spinning that fast I am sure...and yes it would be normal.
Due to dynamic friction between the oil and the parts....kind of like a torque converter but you would have to be able to picture all the parts in the transmission and know how it all works to understand what I am saying.

Cool thanks. The trannie has actually been rebuilt on warranty,
I just wanted to be sure they put it back together properly. t |

At a temp of -40c, it would be like the car was in gear. Pushing in the clutch stopped it, if clutch was done correctly, right? 'Curly' |

yup.

Re: Forward motion in Neutral
I guess its something I have noticed before, the car wants
to roll forward when i am sitting at a red light in neutral. As long as this is normal, then that is cool. t |

Better description is required.. clutch in or out / what happens in reverse with clutch pushed in? Any problem getting into reverse? Reply to group. |
Re: Forward motion in Neutral
When at a stoplight, its almost un-noticable, but it definitely rolls
forward very slowly when on a flat surface. This happens when the clutch is out and the car is in neutral. I don't have a particularly hard time getting into reverse. I think its normal for Hondas to be a little sticky about reverse since reverse has no synchros, right? t |

Mine (Civic '88 5spd) does the same when it's cold. Usually the first one or two traffic lights, it pulls forward even if in neutral, with the clutch released. I always put it down to viscosity of the transmission oil. || I don't have a particularly hard time getting into reverse. || I think its normal for Hondas to be a little sticky about || reverse since reverse has no synchros, right? Yeah, well, if you're moving you'll get a scratch ;) |
