Could be a PTO (Power Take Off) to operate accessories like a dump body or a snow plow.
They are called driveshafts, they transfer power to the rear wheels.
A hardy spicer is a universal coupling as found on vehicle drive shafts and they are fitted with needle bearings
ant engine will work in the shell of any car as long as: - the engine fits the car's bonnet. - the drive shafts are compatible with the engine shafts. - the correct intakes are in place. - the correct exhaust outlets are in place. - the correct brackets and supports must be fitted
gearbox
the gearbox is most commonly known as the transmission. It is just under the cab. directly behind the engine. It is bolted the engine block with 6 bolts, behind the transmission is what is known as a transfer case on 4wd Jimmy's it is bolted to the transmission. 2wd models do not have a transfer case, and have a drive shaft that attaches directly to the transmission. 4wd models have two drive shafts, one going to each end of a vehicle.
an engine in most cases turns a lateral movement into a rotary movement, this is transfered through gears and shafts to the wheels to provide motion.
To replace the clutch on a 106 you will need to remove the air box, battery, wheels and starter motor and disconnect the gear linkages. Before you remove the drive shafts drain the gearbox vie a 3/4 square drive plug located on the bottom of the gearbox (then remove the shafts). After this you will need to support the engine and remove the engine mount from the gearbox. Once this is done the electrical cables connectors and associated clips will have to removed from the gearbox. Once you are sure that there is nothing left fastened to the box remove the gearbox bolts including the bolt located under the engine that secures the front pipe to the engine/gearbox. The gearbox should then be removed by sliding it slightly to the N/S of the car to extract the input shaft from the crank and then lowering to the floor, The clutch is then visible and can be replaced ensuring that the clutch is tightened evenly and properly aligned using the appropriate aligning tool (sometimes supplied with the new clutch). Before refitting the gearbox it is always worth replacing the driveshaft oil seals on the gearbox as these can be a pain if they leak once the job is complete. Refit the box and reassemble the components in reverse order remembering to refill the box with fresh gearbox oil
Just swapped a 1.1 getz geabox a bit fidly but not too bad-remove front subframe pull out drive shafts disconnect steering and roll bar disconnect gear change and electrical plugs(2) undo gearbox mount drop engine slightly and support split gearbox away from engine and remove downwards it took me about 9 hours but I don't do this for a living regards Dave k
Defective parts? Improper installation? Improper operation of vehicle? Check for a loose or broken engine mount. Vehicle has been raised or lowered from stock position.
Looking at the engine from the front, it is the component mounted just below the air cleaner. It is bolted to the right hand side of the engine just below the cam shafts (two round black plastic seals) and above the gearbox.
A vehicle that has the option that all four wheels are driven by the engine instead of just two. They have front and rear drive shafts going to the wheels, a two wheel drive vehicle only has drive shafts going to one set of wheels. A system whereby all four road wheels are driven by the engine. Normally only the back or the front wheels are driven.
