Default does zf6 countershaft rotate when its in neutral?

I was just wondering:

will the zf6 countershaft (below the input shaft) rotate when the trans is in neutral? or only in gear?

It doesn't matter whether it's in gear or neutral, when the input shaft rotates, the countershaft rotates...they are coupled together by gears.



You can see the gear on the end of the input shaft that meshes with the gear on the front of the countershaft in the picture above.
