Remote Start

[ViPER1313]

my thoughts were that if you are in neutral, the tranny is disengaged from the engine, and therefore the only additional thing rotating if the clutch pedal is out would be the clutch assembly. My impression was that in neutral, the tranny is pretty much a separate unit from the engine.

Your thoughts are wrong :wink: . The only time the engine is disengaged from the tranny is when the clutch is pressed in - when it is out the gears are rotating inside the tranny, although not connected with each other while in neutral. I cant imagine why the pressure exerted by the TOB on the pressure plate would cause crank walk - if the crank can deal with the TOB slamming into the pressure plate during 7000rpm shifts I doubt a little pressure at startup would hurt it.
