Default Front wheels spinning while car is in the air

So I geuss the park pin is broken in the tranny ?

Both tires spin freely....

Could I be missing something like the car isn't really in park somehow or ...

Also having that pin brake, will I be able to get it out from the tranny pan ? Can I drive the car ?

It has no motor ATM so...

I already answered you here:

http://www.grandprixforums.net/f21/i...-pin-3275.html (I think I broke the parking pin !)

If both wheels are off the ground, the differential allows them to spin freely in opposite directions of each other... The parking pin locks the differential carrier from moving, not it's internal pinion gears. If one wheel was on the ground, you would not be able to spin the other.
