Depends. If it is behind the motor already and it has a clutch, and it's in gear, it shouldn't turn. If it's on the bench, and in gear, yes it can still move. The input shaft on the other side would also be moving though

thank you very much you answered my question,reason for asking is a friend at work said that it shouldn't turn if in gear, he's F.O.S

BTW,Tranny is on bench
