Default Rear Brakes..

I have my vette up in the air with the e-brake released, and it's in neutral.
My rear wheels will not spin freely(it's actually pretty tough to turn them by hand), and they are making a scratchy noise.
I figured out what the noise was. It's coming from my transmision. Is that normal?
I have no other vette to compare to.
Can someone describe what I should hear when I turn my wheels by hand?

Thanks, I'll try that. Funny, I didn't think of that. Easier looking from the outside in, huh. That's why I love this forum(extra eyes on the problems).
