So i was doing some woek on the car today, jacked the wheels off the ground....started her up...the wheels start to spin slightly...not alot of pressure,. i can stop it with my hands...when i push the clutch in...obviously they stop spining, only when the clutch is resting.
Normal?? Dangerous? Harming in time?

thanks alot guys....
I just installed the clutch in my GS.. I was thinkin maybe something wasnt diengaging.
But i understand the reasoning now....with the oil and all.
I got a clutch of napa, the whole kit(T O bearing, pilot bearing, alignment tool, clutch and pressure plate) for like 210 Can.

Its so crisp and tight.
