Dad was trying to check the condition of the center support bearing in his 50 Champion, 3 speed overdrive. Car is up on jack stands. He couldn't turn the driveshaft by hand with the car in neutral. So he tried turning the rear wheels to turn the drive shaft. The rear wheel turn in opposite directions without turning the drive shaft.
I think the wheels turning in opposite direction without turing the drive shaft is normal, if not please set me straight. The thing I don't understand is, why can't we turn the driveshaft with the car in neutral. Could this be something to do with the overdrive?
I apologize if this is a stupid question that everyone should know the answer to.
Thanks
Wayne
