No, I carefully eliminated that. It stops when the clutch actually is
disconnected. That's when the throwout is under MOST pressure., It's
definitly related to shaft rotation, audibly slowing down when cluttch pedal
is depressed to point of disengagement.

Tried it under load, but of course, in gear, wheels on ground, tranny is
stopped unless car is rolling. No noise.
