Tim...Yes:
1. Get both rear wheels off the ground and completely free;
2. Place transmission in gear;
3. With an assistant on the other side, start the test by rotating
both wheels in a forward direction as far as possible (normally both wheels
will be stopped after rotating only a few inches);
4. With one person firmly holding the right wheel forward (against
the stop), rotate the left wheel rearward while listening for a regular
indexing or clicking sound. (the right wheel must be held firmly against the
stop or the left wheel will not disengage freely).
5. Now do the reverse and rotate both wheels rearward as far as
possible (again both wheels will be stopped after rotating only a few inches);
6. Again with one person firmly holding the right wheel rearward
(against the stop), rotate the left wheel forward while listening for a
regular indexing or clicking sound. (the right wheel must be held firmly
against
the stop or the left wheel will not disengage freely).
7. REPEAT steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 only this time holding the left wheel
firm during each process;
