Default wheels spin in neutral..???

i have a 98 JDM tranny on a Ls/vtec. i have the car on jackstands and i sit in it and when i turn the car on the wheels spin in neutral and even the speede (canadian ITR) goes up.... the speedo is totaly out of calibration but it still moves.. is this a shift linkage problem?? this is all in a 2000 LS. oh and i have a short shifter too.

thanx

My friend has a 96 JDM B18C swap and his did the same thing after the swap. You can stop the wheel by hand and there is no resitence at all. It might have something to do with the LSD but I'm not sure.

LSD's do funky ****. My wheels rotate slightly when just putting it in gear, with the clutch pressed to the floor. (car jacked up)

It is referred to as inertia. All of the spinning within generates an energy kind of which transfers through out, or:

in·er·tia
Pronunciation: i-'n&r-sh&, -shE-&
Function: noun
1 a : a property of matter by which it remains at rest or in uniform motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force.

Yea I thought it was pretty messed up to but it does it on most cars. Yea, I had to use the dictionary
