Tranny question?
I knwo i shouldn't post here, but i have a question for you guys. I have a question. When i park my firebird on a flate surface, I can let off the clutch slowly and i do not need to give it any gas, it will just start rolling. It can even be on a slight hill. It idles where it should at 700. Its a 2.8 WC T-5. Is this normal?

I would think posting it here is fine as your car is a v6 and this is the v6 section. I used to have a car that did that too, it wasnt a 3rd gen but that car seemed to idel fine too.
