brianthemagical 1 Posted April 10, 2007 gearbox is out of the car, is new to me so i've never had it working. when turning it over by hand, the diff turns even when in neutral. i thought it may be the selecters not working but i would have tough it would bind up if that was the case. any help appreciated. it's a BE3. thanks very much.

Richie-Van-GTi 71 2 Cars Posted April 10, 2007 its totally normal for that to happen. Same if you have a car on stands and start the engine the wheels will spin if its in neutral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brianthemagical 1 Posted April 10, 2007 i was searching at the time, opened up a post just aftewr i started this thread. it said it was something to do with friction in the box, i held the diff and turned the input shaft, it worked fine. the box that was on my car, which worked doesn't drag in neutral which is what got me worried. thanks for the reply.
