Pot Joint Inner CV Joint

[lotsofminis]

So I have a 1275 auto that I am bench testing prior to swapping out my 998.  The engine runs great, but looking at the engine, the left inner CV joint turns while the right one doesn't, unless, you hold the left joint than the right one turns.  The same in all gears, except neutral.

Is this normal?

Thanks

Terry

You are experiencing how the differential operates. Just don't try holding both joints.

Thanks for the feedback.  I had an idea that was the case but I needed verification.

Thank you again
