Drive/Propeller Shaft: Service and Repair
Propeller Shaft - Installation
Automatic Transmission
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION - NON-SRT
CAUTION: Propeller shaft installation is a two-man operation. Never allow propeller shaft to hang from the center bearing, or while only
connected to the transmission or rear axle flanges. A helper is required. If a propeller shaft section is hung unsupported, damage
may occur to the shaft, coupler, and/or center bearing from over-angulation. This may result in driveline vibrations and/or
component failure.
COUPLER/DAMPER SERVICE
1. Install the coupler (1) and the damper (3) if equipped. Install three bolts with washers and nuts and torque to 68 Nm (50 ft. lbs.) torque.
2. Obtain a helper and install propeller shaft into position at axle. Align index marks placed upon removal. Install propeller shaft rear coupler-to-axle
flange bolt/nuts by hand. Do not torque at this time.
