Chuck,
I don't think that this is possible. When in neutral, the cluster gear is 
meshed with the clutch input gear, which is splined to the input shaft, which is 
splined to the clutch disc, which is directly connected to the engine. So 
unless the clutch is released, the cluster gear Is PREVENTED from rotating unless 
the engine is running.
