You're probably seeing this with the tranny in Neutral and the clutch engaged, so it really isn't saying anything about the clutch cable adjustment. A certain amount of drag, just from the viscosity of the gear oil in the tranny makes this always happen. If you apply the brakes the wheels should stop without dragging down the engine noticably. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
