Clutch down, putting it into 1st gear
 

When i am on a flat surface I press down the clutch and put it in 1st gear. I feel the car or mechanical parts moving forward, with the clutch still fully pressed down.

Is this normal?

Please adivse. Thanks.

yep perfectly normal

Thanks! I am happy to hear this.

I thought something was wrong.

Driving in each gear is excellent and redlines fine. 42k miles and running strong!!!

later!

uhhh, what?

well this happend to me when i had dirty brake fluid. i would put it in first and have the clutch in all the way but yet it would creep forward. after i start noticed this the gears started becoming hard to put in first 2nd and rev. and then one day i was driving and the car would not go in frist and i had to pull as hard as i could to get in second just to roll off, alot of traffic was behind me :LOL: i got it bled and put fresh fluid in and problem solved, it doesnt do it anymore. but i wouldnt call it normal because my car never did it and doesnt do it now

its fine, its a mechanical sound that you can usually hear over the motor when shifting into 1st or 1st to 2nd if you're quiet enough.

Noticed the same thing, good to hear.

well ya i hear a clunk ever now and then in the gearbox ya thats normal
And heat from the tranny to

If I understand correctly (which so far I'm fairly sure I don't) it seems that the consensus in this thread is that with the car "at rest" on a "flat surface" that the car will start moving after simply shifting into first gear with the clutch pedal fully depressed?

I don't know, that definitely doesn't sound normal to me.

Normal..
