DESCRIPTION AND
PROPELLER SHAFT AND CENTRAL JOINT
Due to the use of both automatic and manual trans-
missions, propeller shafts of various lengths are re-
quired depending upon vehicle, engine, and
transmission (manual or automatic) application. The
propeller shaft is of a strong design due to increased
engine torque. It is also a one piece tubular shaft, but
it has two universal joints. See Figure
The
front universal joint attaches to the transmission out-
put shaft by a
slip joint. The rear universal
joint attaches to the pinion extension shaft flange by
Page No.
two U-bolts. The splines of both propeller shafts are
lubricated internally with transmission lubricant. An
oil seal in the rear of the transmission extension pre-
vents loss of lubricant and entrance of harmful for-
eign material.
The torque tube which houses the drive pinion exten-
sion shaft is bolted to the differential housing. The
torque tube is pivoted in rubber elements of the cen-
tral joint support bracket which is bolted to the floor
panel. The support bracket and rubber parts of the
torque tube
termed the central joint. The front
end of the drive pinion extension shaft rides in a ball
bearing mounted in rubber in the central joint.
