Pic unrelated
I was replacing my drive belts today, and when I was done, decided to turn on the car to make sure they had good tension before putting the splash shield and car down. When I did, like in the title, the hub that was in the air started spinning slowly, although the other side wasn’t at all.
It’s a manual transmission, so is this normal, just not visible because normally there’d be the weight of the wheel and car pressing down on it to stop it?

My brain says it should not but I’ve seen that happen with my friend’s E46.

you’ve got it. While it’s in neutral, the input shaft is still spinning and the gear oil is viscous enough to transfer some motion to the output shaft.
You could probably stop the spin with your pinky finger.

I’ve noticed this running the TR6 up in the air a couple times too.

My folks used to have an old Subaru with pretty heavy lube in the transmission. When you started it in the cold and engaged the clutch in neutral,
the car would creep forward on the garage floor unless you applied the brake (or set the parking brake).
