    its the resistance in the bearings in the tranny on the mainshaft and countershaft, the mainshaft is always spinning and even tho all the gears are on bearings there is still some frition created and the counter shaft ends up spinning too, but not as nearly as fast as the mainshaft tho. the counter shaft is then connected to the diff then axles, wheels
