Not in gear (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idle

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">not in gear</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for idle that I've seen before include "Monty Python's Eric, b. 1943" , "Not occupied" , "Fruitless" , "Inert; lazy" , "out of a job" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
