Thanks all for the discussion.... just to clarify.....
RAVE cd 47-2 of the worshop manual calls the double articulation joint at the transfer box end of the shaft as a "Hookes joint' and the diff end as as 'Universal joint'. This seems to be an error.
Universal joint (American) = Hookes joint (British) = Cardan joint (European).
Double Hookes joint = Double Cardan joint.
If you are swapping a D1/ D2 front shafts then the transfer box flange also needs to be changed as the bolt centre pattern is different on the Double Cardan joint.
I have a D1 shaft and flange on my D2 and wanting to swap back to original.
Cheers......

Another question.
What does your hi/lo lever do.
ONLY move forward and back????(as a non CDL D2 does)
Or does it move to the side as well ????(engages CDL on a D1)
JUST WONDERING,has somebody fitted a D1 transfercase to gain a working CDL????
Try moving it sideways and see what happens.

His is a 99 so will have the bits and unless someone has retrofitted it shouldnt be connected...Quote:

Hi Mike
He also says it has a D1 output flange as well as the shaft.
I was wondering if somebody had changed the transfercase to D1 not realising all the bits were inside the CDL.
Andrew
More likely some owner has had a DC failure and retro fitted the D1 shaft, which is stronger, but vibrates more!Quote:

Hi LandyAndy and Tombraider.
Yep got a little vibration with the D1 shaft at 60Ks and 110Ks... my self wind watch never stops:D
From what we can see the transfer case is a S2 and will the internal CDL mechanism and like all 99 models the hi/low is just a forward / backward shift.
The upgrade is on the shopping list.... would prefer to go to the 2a but as always the $$$$$s count. Might have to just have the CDL accuator kick in with Low only... shopping around for prices at the moment.
LR sell the front shaft DC flange kit for $300 :eek: but my friendly mechanic sourced one for $150.:BigThumb:
Paul
Dont go Low Range CDL only...
Useless waste of money.
There are many times that High Locked is more appropriate
and sometimes low range and unlocked is preferred....
Yes, definately, use it all the time reversing larger trailers into the driveway (one example)Quote:
