What should happen when......

[kam-325i]

OK, here is the setup..............
1990 325i (mine in sig). back end up in the air, both wheels of the ground, gearbox in neutral. i turn one wheel by hand. What should be happening to the other wheel ?

I know , or atleast i thought i knew what the other wheel should do, BUT IT AINT !!!!!!

If it turns the same way LSD, if turns the opposite way open diff.

If it turns the same way LSD, if turns the opposite way open diff.

Thats what i thought, but mine aint. i turn the wheel, and the prop rotates.
If i put it i gear, then the other wheel rotates the opposite way. weird or what ?

[optima]

whats happening is that when in neutral it doesnt have to push against engine pressure. so because of the brakes and wheel bearin and a few other items it will send the power up the prop. but if it is in gear the engine pressure will stop the gearbox and send it to the other wheel nothing wrong there mate

Exactly as optima says. Perfectly normal.

Rear silencer was fouling on the drive shaft.....DOH !

Still normal, silencer fouling driveshaft or not.
