How to find Neutral when shift rod was detached.

I have the rear of my car on Jack stands. When the engine is runnung the wheels spin. This happens in ALL gear positions including where I think should be neutral. When it is in "neutral" The wheels spin slow and I can easily stop them with my hand. When I release the wheels they start to spin again? Why can't I find neutral and get this car going?

Thanks everyone for being patient with me while my car and I learn.

Yes, your car IS in neutral...with the wheels slowly spinning, and being able to stop them with your hands.........
This is typical of a gearbox with the rear tires off the ground----You do not have limited slip...your trans will turn whichever tire that has the least resistance...try it sometime with one rear tire on the ground and the other jacked up---bet the one up will do the walking....car will sit still.....

As ussual you guys are right! Thanks again
