OK heres the situation, last nite thought might have some fun, ended up dumping clutch too hard and resulting in having a snapped axel (or something in the S series rear end) in my trueno coupe , got it home safely thanks to RAC (engine was fine but it didnt move!). Next day which is now. i thought better check if anything else is F***ED so started up the motor in Neutral with the handbrake on, i here a slighting clunking noise, go under the car and i find my driveshaft is turning!!!, i thought the box was stuffed so checked the gears, checked them and they all fine. so just wondering its getting me paranoid, cause i got no resistance due to a broken diff/axel, could that explain why my driveshaft is turning in neutral??? THANKS JoHnNy_K

not 100% sure, yet the output shaft shouldbt be turning, although can u stop it moving as in if u try to grab it with ure hands (unless its spinning heaps fast, dont want ya to get hurt)

Tailshaft will turn as has been said, but that doesn't mean your gearbox is in good health. Fix the diff, and if the gearbox howls like 10,000 caged pigs, fix it too
