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.

Yes.
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?

That's not what you described before... it's normal when jacked up, but
not so when at traffic light.
Better description is required.. clutch in or out / what happens in
reverse with clutch pushed in? Any problem getting into reverse?

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?

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.

Yeah, well, if you're moving you'll get a scratch
