Intermediate Shaft Removal
- Drain the transmission fluid. Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer:
- Manual transmission (see MANUAL TRANSMISSION )
- Automatic transmission (see step 3 on ATF REPLACEMENT )
- Remove the right driveshaft (see DRIVESHAFT REMOVAL ).
- Remove the flange bolt (A) and two dowel bolts (B).
- Remove the intermediate shaft (A) from the differential. Hold the intermediate shaft horizontally until it is clear of the differential to prevent damaging the differential oil seal (B).
