   I had my car up on axle stands earlier as I have been changing my manifold over, anyway I started it up after to check it was all sealed up ok and noticed my passenger side wheel spinning on its own? the car wasnt in gear and i could stop it spinning by hand just thought it was a bit weird..

   I know its ok I was just curious if it could mean my clutch is on the way out or something like that, although don't know how the clutch would effect it when its in neutral anyways lol

   It ain't normal. Did the wheel begin to spin after you stopped it?

   Don't listen to some people...it's perfectly normal! Just friction within the gearbox!
