I have a favorite spot along a certain road, and I like to see just how much push momentum will give my 88 GL from a certain hill and at a certain speed in certain configurations when I crest that hill. I disengage the engine and just let the ol' 88 GL roll to see how far it will go. My question is: Which scenario below will offer the least resistance or friction to oppose momentum. Given: Scenario #1: At speed, the clutch is depressed, the transmission is placed in neutral, then the clutch pedal is released and remains there until roll out is complete Or; Scenario #2: At speed, the engine is disengaged from the tranny by simply pushing in the clutch and holding it there until my roll-out is completed. Anyone ever looked at this difference? Thanks, Regards, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver
