AlanG Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Can somebody tell me if the prop shaft can be removed without removing the transmission tunnel. Thinking the front flange bolts may be difficult ? Thanks Alan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Harvey Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 make sure the nuts and bolts are all EXACTLY the same or you will get vibration Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlejim Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Worth putting file marks on the round bits that bolt together so you re-assemble in the same possy as it is now. If it goes back 90 deg out you can get vibration problems.Dunno about yours but mine (tailshaft) has a bit of steel shim welded on for balance in one spot.

littlejim Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) example of bad vibes Uh Oh! One of the old blokes I worked with years ago told me of an incident when he was talked into navigating for an outback rally on the dirt. They had been eating the dust of a similarly powered car for yonks, when an opportunity to pass came up. The driver flattened it and they gradually crept up until they were alongside doing about 70 MPH. At that stage the passee gave them a quick nudge on the side which immediately flicked them 180 degrees, and now doing 70 backwards.He said the propshaft immediately came up through the floor and the car filled with little rubber rings bouncing all over the place. It was in the days of heavy laminated rubber universal joints on the propshaft. Edited September 16, 2014 by littlejim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
