Even with the transmission in neutral, there is some internal drag 
from the thick oil in the gear box. You should find that you can 
easily hold the hubs (or wheels if installed) from rotating in this 
condition. No worries. There are other tests to determine if the 
clutch is "done", like putting it in gear with the brakes on to see 
if the clutch grabs well enough to kill the engine. Crude but 
effective. Let us know (if you don't mind) about the condition of 
your TAB's, and associated bushings and other hardware. I'm always 
trying to keep tabs on the condition of the fleet (please pardon the 
pun!). Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! We have so much to be 
thankful for.
