My tranny on my 90 TII is going bad. I have another one coming in to replace it. The tranny probably has enough life left to get me to the on base garage where I can do the swap. My question is if I start the engine will the tranny be put into motion while in nuetral? The reason I'm asking is b/c I don't want my battery to die and I do want to totally kill my tranny before the new one gets here. Thanks.

The trans does spin in neutral with the clutch up. If you have an old POS trans you can hear the bearing whine that way.
