Wheels spinning when in park

While in reverse, does the shaft and rear hub turn the other way?

Do things try to turn while it is in neutral?

Not really related to the transmission issue, check the brake adjustment on the non-turning rear wheel. Might be a bit snug since only the other wheel is turning.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Where is there a shift cable on the transmission? It it the detent tv cable?

Not sure of the exact terminology. Maybe a 700R4 expert will chime in. My memory from past research says that there is a cable from the trans to the throttle assembly that needs to be adjusted properly or trans damage can happen in just a few miles of use.

The turns by hand in all gears sounds like the transfer case is in neutral.

Yeah, the detent/tv cable has to be adjusted well or it can damage the transmission quickly. I'm sure mine was adjusted well and the truck was only driven 30 feet. Just from the car hauling trailer to the garage.

If the np203 transfer case is in neutral while the transmission is in park is it normal for the wheels and drive shaft to spin by hand?

Yes, the transfer case is in neutral or disengaged. Would be the same if the transfer case was 'in gear' and the transmission was in neutral.

If the 700r4 is in park causing the pawl to lock the transmission and supposedly prevent the drive shaft and wheels from spinning, how would the np203 in neutral allow the rear axle and rear wheels to spin?

I'm new to all this so just trying to figure out if something is broken or if i just don't understand how it works.
