Did you get the AAR put back together in the same calibration? There is an 
adjustment there.

Actually what you describe sounds fairly normal, except that if the idle gets 
as high as 1500 rpm I think the speed should start to "lope." Since yours 
doesn't, my guess is that the throttle valve switch is misadjusted, or the wire 
to it has been disconnected.

Some amount of what you describe is perfectly normal, because it take  
SOME power to drive the transmission, even in neutral. You're just 
overcoming the viscous drag in there.

It's not a matter of the clutch freeplay.
