Yeah, that's what I was expecting one to go clockwise and for the other to turn anti-clockwise. They both turn clockwise now though
the dutch guy wrote:that means the diff is probably not happy. my guess is that one of the little gears has locked up the diff and/or skips teeth. driving at this point (putting real power on the gears) would probably break the gearbox apart.
please tell me you have rear wheel drive and can simply service the diff and not have to take the gearbox to bits...

Thanks. By moving it do you mean trying to drive it, or by pushing it in gear?

good luck pushing in gear.
just drive it and use a feather on the clutch. and listen carefully for any un-transit-like noises from the drivetrain. if you hear any crunching and stop immiedialy and prepare for a gearbox replacement.
