I have a d-series rt4wd transmission which I have finished going through to replace bearings in the transfer gear. Transmission is reassembled and back on the motor, but not in the car yet. It will shift through the gears just fine and the transfer gear moves freely when 4wd is disengaged. Before installing the transmission on the block, with 4wd engaged, the transfer gear would spin and the input shaft would spin as well, so everything seems right there.

Problem is, after mounting the transmission, when I installed the intermediate shaft I noticed that it will spin freely regardless of if the transmission is in gear or not. I don't believe that is right. With the clutch engaged and trans in gear, the axles should not spin freely should they?

If it should not, any transmission gurus have any insight into what I may have done wrong and what to look for. The differential was working fine before the disassembly, only the 4wd transfer gear bearings were shot.

** EDIT: well after more searching... looks like this is correct.. need to get the other axle in and make sure it spins the opposite direction

Exactly.
