the 2wd driveshaft will be too long...theres no transfer case. Cant i remove the transfercase and bolt the driveshaft right to the trans? New answer: The center shaft in the 4x4 transmission is a long shaft so you can
install the transfur case on to it.
The transmission in 2 wheel dr. trucks have a short shaft running through the
Transmission. So what you are wanting to doWILL NOT WORK.
Now you can take your trans. completely apart and remove the center shaft, and
go buy a short shaft for your trans. Then put it all back together. Remove the
transfur case housing on your trans. and install a regular tail shaft housing onto
your trans. Plus a 2 wheel drive drive shaft. And you now have a 2- wheel dr.
Either the transmission tail seal or the transfer case input seal has failed. The transfer case has to be removed to replace the seals.
I don't know for this specific car, but as in most cases the engine or gearbox/transfer case has to come out. If you have access to a lift its easier to remove the gearbox and transfercase as a unit. The clutch lies just rear of the engine.
Mark driveshaft yoke and splined area from transfer case - so that it will be installed in the same position to maintain factory balance Remove and discard small "U" bolts from yoke (Replace with new at installation) Pry driveshaft out of yoke and forward onto splines at transfer case Drop driveshaft and pull off splines
take it to the garage
Unbolt/remove driveshaft. Use U-joint press to remove old U-joint, install new and replace driveshaft.
If your speaking of the actual driveshaft from the transfer case to the front differential, there are four torx head bolts to remove on each end of the shaft, if you mean how do you fix the shaft when the truck vibrates insanely, you either purcahase a completely new shaft or take your old one to a driveshaft shop and they can make you a new one with replaceable u-joints. hope this helps
The driveshaft is removed to replace the clutch by unbolting the u-joints and retaining caps on each end of the drive shaft. The shaft can then be collapsed slightly to allow for easier removal.
Yes you can, But the driveshaft won't be long enough.
Yes, But you may have to modify the driveshaft and crossmember.
Well, if it is a front driveshaft, the issue is a CV joint and you'll have to remove the driveshaft and take it in to be rebuilt. Taht will run you $150 or more. If it is a rear driveshaft, it will be cheaper if you remove the driveshaft and take it to a driveline shop where they can press in a new u-joint.....I'd recommend you replace both. A guess? $60 to $80
if the play is in driveshaft, replace u joints. if the play is actually in the diff, remove driveshaft and tighten pinion bearing.
That depends which model it is. On older models CV-joints were moulded into the driveshaft. To be replaced they had to be removed using a press and then warmed to be able to replace them. On these models it is often better to replace the whole driveshaft. On newer models CV-joints are attached with clips and can be replaced more easily.
