P700 Transmission Concern

[onecreeper]

Just noticed today after riding something appears wrong after I trailored. When in gear Reverse or Drive with the engine off, it will roll freely. I dont think that is right. To be clear, there is no slippage, it will still climb hills and it will do 40MPH but with the engine off and in gear, you can roll it.

Thoughts? I would think if it were not engaged, it would slip while driving but none of that.

An automobile with a juicer trans can be moved like that too.

That is very normal.

That is very normal.

Maybe it is nothing to worry about but something clearly has changed because I dont think it did that before.

Nothing wrong here.

The only way to keep a 700 from moving with the engine off is the parking brake.

Think of it this way: the clutches that connect the engine to the wheels are applied by high-pressure oil. No engine spinny-spinny = no oil pump spinny spinny = no clutch application = freewheeling.

Thanks Man....I cannot believe I never noticed that before. Now if I can find a way to delete all my previous messages on this so I dont look like the complete moron below....Ill do that.
