say i have my transmission sitting on my garage floor with the shift tower removed.
say i can see the LSD.
say the tranny currently sits in "neutral"
should i be able to spin it freely? or does it just not move until enough torque is applied to it.
thanks

how are you going to move it?! Turn it with the axles in place or what, stick your hand in there and spin it?!

if its in neutral and you spin the input shaft the differential should not spin.
so in a sense they should spin independently when in neutral.

Maybe it has something to do with you retro-fitting the zetec FD on there...

trevor (fastcougar) said that with later MTX-75's (2001-2002) i didnt need to worry about the pinion gear. i dont know if it brings anything else up, but when my dad and i pushed the car in and out of the driveway, it was EXTREMELY difficult. like it took four of us to push the car out of the driveway and into the garage, and all of us were trying really hard to push it.
