hi in my beetle it is a 69 stock it came with 1600 single port but when i bought it it had a 1600 daul port in it and when i start it up and take it out of gear and let off the clutch it still pushes forward slightly not a hard push but something im kinda worried about cause i have two other stick shift cars and they dont do that oh and this morning the thing that really got me worried was when i tried to start it it pushe forward like is said above and my starter was turning slow so i turned it off and you can hear something spinning still in the back. i had somethings in mind but i should probably ask.

could the flywheel be to big since it has bigger engine.
could the starter not be disengaging.
could the trans fluid be low or old.
could the the trans be going bad

If it does it in neutral, it's probably old, thick gear oil.
