It's normal. Don't worry about it if you can stop them by hand.

Yea even tho the trans is in neutral the gears on both shafts are still spinning even tho there not engages, so by having next to no resistance now from the axles they spin the shaft slightly causing the wheels to spin. Nothing to worry about.

Its the viscosity of the tranny fluid.The drag of the oil "engages" the shafts in the tranny.

There are also friction washers that act as brakes for countershaft first and second gears. The drag from these washers also contribute to this phenomenon.

Re: Swap finished BUT wheels spinning when not in gear (Prod)

lol a similar thing happened to me the first time I started up my swap. Then I remember how the gears are in a manual tranny. The gears are all bunched up on 2 shafts and obviously the friction between them is enough to make the wheels spin.
