IT'S O.K. TO SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION AND LET THE CLUTCH OUT WHILE THE ENGINE IS FEE WINDING. EVEN THE TOYOTA MECHANICS AT MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THIS IS WRONG IT WILL RUIN THE CLUTCH EVENTUALLY.

I HAVE PROOF FROM THE DEALER THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND TOYOTA SAYS TO IT;S CUSTOMER.....BUGGER OFF. WE GOT YOUR MONEY. AND YOUR RIGHT I DO HAVE STUPID WRITTEN ON MY FOREHEAD. *JB
