Steve1 Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Hi Rich Last night I re fitted my propshaft with gearbox and diff fitted.....you need to drop it out from the bottom and pull forward towards the engine, make sure the shaft is fully compressed too, it should drop out with no issue.

Mike C Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 The local garage finished replacing my pinion shaft seal today. 1969 CP with type A overdrive. And, much as I wanted to avoid it, the diff had to come out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Just taken mine out. CP with A type O/D & single straight through exhaust. Dropped out forward. Didn't even need to move the exhaust. No problems at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JochemsTR Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 So to summarize: A-Type OD and non-OD: removing towards the front. J-Type OD: removing towards the aft, with removing the diff in most cases necessary. Korrekt? Jochem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YankeeTR5 Posted November 18, 2020 Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 For the folks who have had (having) trouble removing the propshaft....are you undoing the collar ring toward the front and then compressing the shaft together? This shortens the shaft a few inches allowing removal in my experience. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J-Type OD: removing towards the aft, with removing the diff in most cases necessary. Korrekt? Jochem I think not I have a TR6 J-OD with a lot of trouble with prop from Revington. In short the old had vibrations and after changing U-joint still persist and the high performance new item from Rev failed two times. So I am familiar with removing and all without touching the diff. As far as I can see my frame is stock and although there is not much space left the prop comes out to the front. My V8 also had several props but I have the Rover gearbox at the front. Flange is same position as Triumph gearbox and here I had two props with much larger diameter at the tubes and they still come out. I would expect little differences in the frame or engine mounting if some have trouble and some have not. It is not gearbox related. I did see some people can change the front belt and some have problems to pass between engine and tube. These also might have difficulties with the prop because engine is a little bit more located to rear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nachdem ich beide Enden gelöst habe (der Getriebetunnel ist ausgeschaltet) und den Auspuff in der Nähe entfernt habe, kann ich nicht sehen, wie Sie ihn vorwärts oder rückwärts herausholen können ohne ernsthaftes Metallschlagen - muss ich das Diff fallen lassen? Jeder Rat wäre sehr willkommen Prost Rich Hello I once learned that a cardan shaft should be treated like a raw egg. And that's how I do it too !! A cardan shaft rotates with engine speed and +. And transfers all of the torque back and forth. No thought should be wasted not to expand the diff for TR's. And it is very important that the flanges are bare metal! Color can lead to nasty surprises. Be vigilant in this area of the TR Ralf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
