Hi Guys, I am trying to assess the state of a 6spd (non-tip) transmission and have a few questions that I hope someone can answer:

With the transmission out of the car and in neutral, is it possible to grab both differential flanges and rotate the entire differential?
Next, with the transmission in neutral, is it possible to rotate the input shaft (from the engine) by hand?
And how about the front output shaft: with the transmission in neutral, can the front output shaft (to the front differential) be rotated by hand?

Thank you!!!

It should rotate freely in neutral from the input or from the flanges. Or I should say it shouldn’t take a lot of force to rotate it. If it doesn’t I would have it looked at. Did it shift fine before you took it out or was there a problem with it and that’s why you pulled it.
