This seems like an easy question, but I really can't find the answer. I have the car on the hoist and we are almost ready to turn over for the first time. It seems like we are able to shift though all of the gears (without engine on). My question is, even though it is in gear, it is fairly easy to turn the wheels. Is that normal? Thanks for your help?

Because of the differential it should turn fairly easy, with the other wheel turning the opposite direction. If you tried to turn both wheels the same direction at the same time you would not be able to turn them (if it is in gear) due to the engine compression.
