The driveshaft carries the power but the whole unit does the work.

The engine turns the transmission then the transmission turns the driveshaft.
go to this address and you can see a animation of how a shaft drive works. this is one on a bicycle but the only difference is a motorbikes is larger and its a engine powering it instead of pedals. the engine turns 1 cog which turns a pole which inturn rotates a 2nd cog which is attached to the rear wheel giving you forward motion. http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/Animation/dynamicpopup.html
turns a shaft connect to steering gear box, which then turns wheels through different ways
It works with gears on both ends of a shaft in stead of a chain. If you have two wheels and they both have gears just like a chain drive but replace the chain with a single shaft that also has gears on each end, you will understand how a shaft drive works.
A friend of mine had the same problem and he just had to jump out and lock the hubs manually to get his 4x4 working.
One end of the driveline is coupled to the end of the transmission's input shaft, which 'drives' the line. The other end of the driveline is coupled to your rear end's center section, which turns your rear wheels.
you have to get a tranny from a two wheel drive and drive shaft. remove everything to do with four wheel drive and hook up the new tranny crossmembere and drive shaft then it will work. if you want to do the front end good luck
the wheels ar always linked to the axle and the drive shaft the drive shaft is disconnected in the transfer case
