clutch drag ?

I have the car on rear axle stands at the moment for some suspension mods ( read correcting mistakes ) and the wheels off. I like to start the engine every few weeks to keep her ticking along and for inspiration when the day comes to be on the road - anyway the prop shaft is turning fairly slowly in neutral and driving the rear hubs - which i can stop by hand fairly easily.

Does this mean the clutch is engaging in neutral and I just need to adjust it out?

Thanks in advance.

The clutch will be engaged whenever you foot is off it! You are simply seeing the effects of drag caused by the oil in the transmission, perfectly normal behaviour.

Thanks very much - I thought I needed to add another job to my list where progress is only backwards at the moment.

cheers
