Drive/Propeller Shaft: Description and Operation

The driveshaft is a tubular shaft used to transfer torque from the engine, through the transmission to the ring and pinion in the rear axle, which
transmits the torque to the wheels. Driveshafts differ in length, diameter and type to accommodate various wheelbase, GVW ratings and powertrain
combinations.

The driveshaft has half round end yokes with bolt and strap attachment at all front and rear axle ends and bolt attachments at the transfer case and
manual transmission outputs.
