You'll more than likely need to pop the axles out, remove the drive shaft. Remove the nut on the rear yoke and remove the rear yoke (puller). Than you can remove the rear differential by unbolting it behind the cover. this is very dellicate if you dont know what your doing dont do it, this is one of those things to take to a shop cause you can more damage trying to fix it
your trans axle has nothing to do with you losing 2nd gear
most definitely
Vehicles with front wheel drive have a straight rear axle meaning there is no gear housing in the rear axle. Vehicles that are rear wheel drive have a gear box in the middle of the rear axle to change the rotation of a drive shaft to turn the rear axle. If you look under a full size pick up truck rear axle you will see a large gear box (typically referred to as a pumpkin) in the middle area of the axle. That is the gear box differential.
The wheel and axle and the gear, which is similar to the wheel and axle.
The rear axle.
The transmission casing contains the transmission and final drive gear.
It is the gear reduction that happens in the axle. With a 4.10 the pinion turns 4.1 times for every turn of the ring gear. The driveshaft is attached to the pinion and the ring gear turns the axle shafts, Which turn the wheels.
Axle seals
An axle ratio is a comparison of the number of ring gear teeth to the number of pinion gear teeth in a differential. For instance, a 3.55 gear ratio means that there are 3.55 ring gear teeth to every 1 pinion tooth.
It's right under the plastic casing where the gear stick is. What you do is use a screw driver to pop the casing off temporarily. Beside the gearstick there is a slot for your car key (top left). When you insert the key the gear can then be shifted. When you're done you can replace the plastic casing around the gear stick.
It is the center shaft of a rotating wheel or gear.
