I have the 2WD drive V8, so I’ve got the driveshaft that slips into the transmission rather that one with bolted on flanges at each end, like I think the 4x4 does...
Can I avoid any fluid spills by removing the u-joint at the transmission end and leaving the yoke in the transmission? Or will it just slide out without anything holding it in place? |
I have V6 2WD and it doesn't have zerk fittings either. I pulled a driveshaft out of the trans on a standard transmission Ford like that and when I put it back in it started to leak at the rear seal. I wonder if it would be a good idea to replace the rear seal while the driveshaft is out.
