* You need a little more free play than that, so the cable needs to be a little looser.

* It's not unusual that in first gear with the engine off and the lever pulled to the bar, there is more rolling resistance than when in neutral. After all, you're making a stack of plates that are still quite close together and with thick oil between them all slide against each other. I can duck-walk mine around like that, but it takes a lot more effort than when it's in neutral.
