Yes, never ever set or twirl the time around if you are close to or near midnight !! Always try to be between 3pm and 9pm.....or 3am and 9am when changing the date. Make it the "day before" date, [set it to yesterday] then go around normally once to set it all right.........less strain on the gears.............doing otherwise is like changing gears on a manual transmission without depressing your clutch fully !! "crank" is not a good sound to hear...........ouch !
