I start my 77 ford pickup with the clutch in, I let it run for a while before i dare let the clutch out and load the engine with the drag of that heavy cold gear oil. The truck actually rolls forward with the transmission in neutral when the gear oil is cold. If I really want to make things easier rolling down the road after an extreme cold start I'll put the transfer case in neutral, put the transmission in second gear and let the clutch out. This way the engine can spin that transmission all the way through it's output shaft and loosen up that oil before I try to go anywhere. And the truck won't go anywhere because the t-case is in neutral.
