i have always been in the habit of starting a car, or motorcycle with the clutch in - not allowing power to the transmission - so nothing will go wrong if the transmission is actually not in neutral, and to allow the engine to start without the additional load of the transmission, particularly an issue when the temperatures are in the single digits or below. -- to be removed from alfa, see http://www.digest.net/bin/digest-subs.cgi or email "unsubscribe alfa" to [email protected]
