First thing, You have to tell me how in the he double hockey sticks did that happen? I have never heard of this before, broken, twisted, dropped frontal shafts, yes, busted u-joints, ok, broken tranny mounts, but... If what you say is true, a large Ford tool, (5 lb sledge), ok, enough with the jokes lol, after you remove the bolt holding it into the tranny and on the output shaft, a crows foot puller should do the job, you can buy one, or rent one at auto zone, tell them what you need it for because there are many sizes and most parts people know what you need if their renting tools. jr
its on the output shaft , where the driveshaft connects to the transmission
To remove the driveshaft from a 1998 Cavalier, you will first need to lift the car securely using a jack. Then unbolt the driveshaft from the differential and the transmission. Once both ends are free, carefully slide the driveshaft out of the vehicle. Be sure to take necessary safety precautions and consult a repair manual for detailed instructions.
Most 3 speed manual transmissions without overdrive have 2 shafts, a mainshaft and a counter shaft or ( jackshaft). The main shaft is the shaft that the drive shaft is coupled to by a universal joint at the output of the transmission. When the transmission is in 3rd gear the output of the transmission is the same RPMs as the engine or the input of the transmission. So in 3rd gear or 4th gear in a 4 speed the mainshaft becomes as one from the input from the clutch to the output to the driveshaft
If you are talking about the SPLND STEEL center shaft that the driveshaft slides over, Then you will have to take the transmission APART to remove the shaft.
The torque converter is located between the engine output shaft and the transmission. Have to drop transmission to remove.
The engine turns the transmission then the transmission turns the driveshaft.
Mark driveshaft, splinced shaft at front of shaft, and rear yoke to ensure that it is replaced at the same position to maintain factory balance Remove and discard small "u" bolts at the differential yoke Pry driveshaft out of yoke and up onto to splines at rear of transmission Drop driveshaft Pull driveshaft off of splined end of transmission Use new "u" bolts on installation
Just the output shaft of the transmission.
if leaking out small hole in middle of front driveshaft yoke, check o-ring in cup on output shaft. have to remove extension housing.
It's 2x4, not 2x2, and typically, the answer is going to be no. A 2x4 transmission will be set up for the driveshaft to run directly from the transmission to the driveshaft, and won't be set up to allow the mounting of a transfer case to it. Additionally, the splines of a 2x4 and 4x4 transmission may not be the same, as the output shaft of the 4x4 transmission would be going into a transfer case, and wouldn't be directly connected to a driveshaft.
Seal gone! Remove driveshaft pull seal out, check shaft for damage/wear. Refit new seal and rebuild
Mark driveshaft, transmission splines, and differential yoke. So that installation will maintain factory balance remove and discard small "u" bolts from differential yoke pry driveshaft out of differential yoke pull drivshaft out of transmission spline shaft bring driveshaft to machine shop to have old universal joints pressed out of shaft and new ones installed or use vise and sockets to drive "U" joints out of driveshaft re-install driveshaft in same position as removed using new "U" bolts
