YES
It is a staked joint drive shaft. It is not meant to be serviced.
when the car engine is start and the driver shift a gear,the power front the engine transfer to the drive shaft and its transfer the torque or power to the axle shaft the move a wheel.
A slip yoke has a splined shaft the drive shaft slides over. This allows the drive shaft to flex on rough terrain. A flange yoke has a flat plate on the transfer case and the end of the drive shaft and they bolt together.
NO. It has a speed sensor. You can find it bolted in the rear tail shaft housing on the transmission were the drive shaft goes into the transmission if it is a 2-wheel drive. If it is a 4-wheel drive then it will be bolted in the transfer case tail shaft housing were the rear drive shaft goes into the transfer case.
They are not the same, the awd drive has a center differential and an output shaft and transfer case to drive the rear wheels. They are not the same, the awd drive has a center differential and an output shaft and transfer case to drive the rear wheels.
YES. But you will have to get a 2-wheel drive 4L60E transmission to replace the 4-wheel drive transmission. Reason is that the center shaft that's running through the 4x4 transmission is longer so the transfer case will slide up on it. The 2-wheel drive center shaft is shorter cause there is no need for a transfer case.
NO. The center shaft that is inside of the 4-wheel drive transmissions are longer then the 2-wheel drive transmissions to allow the shaft to fit into the transfur case. The only way that it will work is to remove the shaft from the 4x4 trans. and install it in the 2-wheel drive trans. And yes it will fit right in it. But that requires taking both transmissions compleatly apart to do that switch.
transfer torque power from drive shaft to the rear axels
Spline goes into transmission or transfer case.
transfer torque power from drive shaft to the rear axels
the wheels ar always linked to the axle and the drive shaft the drive shaft is disconnected in the transfer case
A divorced transfer case is not mounted to the tranny it has a separate mount and drive shaft, but is used mainly in hi- lift applications, for a better drive line angle.
