dowl rod???

[rbrthrly90]

i have the tranny out and have not removed both of the cv shafts
the passenger side one is out but the one on the drivers side that goes from the trans to the center support bearing is still in
i need to remove it though but i have been told that if i remove both sides cv shaft then the diff gears will misalign them self and the tranny will need to be rebuilt so what should i put in the pass side cv shaft hole so i can take out the drivers side one

removing the halfshafts does not "misalign" the trans. only removing the shift interlock bolt and then moving the shifter causes misalignment and requires a trans rebuild thereafter.

so, remove both shafts and be done with it.

where is the shift interlock bolt??
did i take that bolt out when i removed the tranny>>???

 

[NotSoSlowSHO]

Probably not. It is typically used as a "drain-plug" for the trans.

 

[rbrthrly90]

then why dose the manual say not to remove both at the same time and why dose sho project phenix say not to ever remove both at the same time??
this boggles my mind that all the matterial about this car says dont do it and yet if you do nothing happens???

Nothing will happen if you remove both of them. I have done it a few times and there is no way anything can get misaligned when you do it.
