Sorry Dexters. Can you forward from your phone to your email account? That works on Verizon.

I don't quite understand this...maybe you can help:

I've noticed, since I bought the Evo, that when I start it up on a cold morning with the gearshift in neutral, the car moves forward when I take my foot off of the clutch. It's never made much sense to me...

The only thing I could ever come up with is that the transmission fluid is visous enough, on start-up, that it's transmitting motion from the input shaft of the transmission to the output shaft...but that seems so improbable.

Also, how does Bruce's problem...car moves when in neutral (i assume this to mean not-in-gear) relate to clutch/flywheel failure. I still see the transmission as an isolating element in the system...

Could it be that either the throw-out bearing of neutral shaft bearing (i think that's what it is.. its the bearing that allows the shaft to continue spinning in neutral) is gone.. therefore its seizing up? I'm waiting on my new master cylinder now for the clutch, from there I'll replace that, install my new motor mounts and see if that fixes anything. I really hope it does.. though unlikely.

For Bruce's problem, his clutch is not fully disengaging, due to one of the reasons he mentioned. As for yours, if it only does it when cold, I can't see this as a clutch issue, but more a transmission issue, as you said.
