This came up today.

if one were to coast, and allow momentum to do the pushing - which
scenario would have the greatest resistance against rolling.
1) Coasting with manual tranny in neutral. clutch released

or,

2) Coasting with Manual tranny in neutral, clutch pedal depressed.

Curious minds, and all that........

Thanks,
