What causes this? if the car is jacked up in the air, neutral position and the tires spin. I thought it was maybe the clutch grabbing too much, so i loosened it up, and still they spin.

Is this the cause of a bad lsd?

i've seen this in many other vehicles, i dont know about any se-r's, but i've seen it happen several times before.

It's because your trans fluid is cold and thick. You could actually stop the tires from spinning with your foot, but don't blame me if the car sucks you up!

I agree with CHriscar, it happens cause there is just enough friction in the trans fluid to put a bit of pressure on the gears so they turn. All is good man.

I 3rd whats been said, oh... I have a new Nismo LSD and mine does it.

Oh yeah, Shockproof heavyweight in below freezing conditions makes shifting fun :)

its normal. it spins because the tranny oil creates a contact area to drive the axel. at least that was what was explained to me. if you grab the wheel with you hand it will stop.

*Unless you're running shockproof heavy and it's real cold! :eek2:

If the wheels are NOT on the ground, and the car is in neutral, the wheels will spin if moved.

this is NOT anything new:rolleyes:

That's not what he said. He's saying that they're spinning by themselves while in neutral.

Is the engine running? If not, I must say I find it hard to believe the wheels will spin even with the higher viscosity fluid because there is no motive force.

Where's the confusion here? You don't REALLY think I said the wheels were turning by themselves with the engine NOT running do you? If so, give me the key to your drug cabinet, I want some.
