Ok, Here's a fun one for ya.
First the basics:
'89 XJ pioneer L6 242ci, AX-15 5 speed, NP231 T-case, Solid Dana 30 front/XJ dana 44 rear, 4.5" lift, blah, blah, blah...
Now on to my story:
I had the rear end up on jackstands for a brake job. All went well with the install (they still don't work!!!) and after I got everything back together I decided to test it out befor droping it back to the ground. I fired it up, and noticed that the rear drums were turning. Thinking this was odd I checked the tranny. Sure enough, it's in neutral. I look back at the rear...still turning. WTF?????
It stops when I push in the clutch. It also has no power behind it, I can grab the driveshaft with my hand and stop the rotation. The best i can figure is that the syncro for whatever gear I had it in last is staying somewhat engaged to the gear and causing the output shaft to turn? I know s**t when it come to the internals on a tranny.
Bottom line is I'm not to worried about it, because it's not powerful enough to move the car at all, I'm just curious if this is a jeep thing that I don't understand, or a sign from the powers that be that my trany is about to gernade.
