Drive Shaft to Tee-Case problems??

[JimJ]

Can someone help explain why the output flange on the TeeCase is larger than the driveshaft flange? The driveshaft is 66x66 millimeters and the t-case flange is 68.5 mm x 60mm. Do we need to change the T-Case flange or find a diffent driveshaft?

T-case flange is likely cheaper, easier find, and replace.

^ I disagree


This should fit your tcase flange.

Thank you Steve

You can also take the universals apart and swap just the end drive shaft flange for the different bolt patterns but I believe almost all Landcruiser slip joints are the same.

For a second I thought with all these posts you were actually working on your own cruiser, but I see the "royal we" slipped in there.

That reminds me that one of my slip joints has developed a small amount of play,

Do both halves of a slip joint wear evenly? Or would swapping out the female end significantly reduce the play?

Unfortunately it’s a custom length driveshaft so it’s not as easy as just buying another shaft.

Unfortunately I would guess they wear evenly however a end would buy you more time.

That’s what I figured,,, not worth worrying about it then. It only has a small amount of rotational play and no slop side to side. For now I’ll keep it lubed and worried about it later. Eventually I’ll replace it, but there’s no rush.

Hi Steve, thanks again for all your help bro! Yup lots to learn. I think I sourced out one from a fellow LC horder in the interior. Shipping tomorrow.
