Answers.Body: <p>The point of the neutral position in a gearbox is that it disconnects the engine from the drivetrain. Therefore no movement is expected at the wheels when the engine turns and vica versa. If the pistons move (their crankshaft turns) when the wheels are turned in drive and do it backwards when in reverse your build is okay.</p>

  The point of the neutral position in a gearbox is that it disconnects the engine from the drivetrain. Therefore no movement is expected at the wheels when the engine turns and vica versa. If the pistons move (their crankshaft turns) when the wheels are turned in drive and do it backwards when in reverse your build is okay.
