It would be best to make clear which Laycock OD you are discussing, Nolan,
as this is NOT true of an A-type.  An A-type has a hydraulic accumulator,
meaning it can store enough pressure (for awhile) to activate the clutches
even without the input shaft spinning.

And (modified) A-type ODs with the early (larger) accumulator.
