Title: If it aint broke, Keep fixing it!
Post by: Berrtie on January 17, 2007, 14:28:04

Hey guys, I got a slight...well not a problem, YET, but Im worried it might be in the future.
   So heres the story. I was changing the rear brakes on my Samurai and all went well. I put it in gear and drove it while it was jacked up (2wd ofcourse!) Put it in neutral, left the Engine running, and the wheels started spinning as if it was in gear!
My question to you guys is:
1) Should this be happening?
2) what would cause this?

Im no Mechanic, and thought you guys could help me out with this?

I'm sure this is normal, I remember having a mini that did the same thing, I could stop the whels by hand, However I'm no expert.

Yes, with no resistance (the ground!) the bearings will still drag the output shaft of the gearbox round. Shouldn't be a problem....... hopefully!

Then its as Steve said above and perfectly normal! :wink:

yeah, just drag thru the gears/bearings etc. as long as when U turn the motor off you can still spin the transmission by hand(ie its not locked up)
