DC_ Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 So after fitting new seals etc to the transfer box , and a new front propshaft. I’ve been wondering and searching as to which end does the slider section on the propshaft go? I put mine back on the way it came off which was slider to transfer and the same for the rear. My mates wolf front propshaft is slider to diff. Watching my guy in Canada on YouTube he was fixing a 300tdi and slider at front was to diff. So is my 1987 ok or should I swap it?

Troll Hunter Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 My Land Rover 1987 110 Parts Catalogue, pp. 399, 400, show the front shaft sliding joint towards the diff and the rear shaft towards the t'box. On my 1991 110 they are installed that way. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 That’s one vote for diff.... this will determine what I’m doing on Sunday 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L19MUD Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I have always been taught to put the slider towards the transfer box for both front and rear.....I have no justification for why that is the right thing to do though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Sliding section to transfer box on both props, this has been asked before quite some time ago. here it is ----------------- see the highlighted bit in my reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Must have been a long time ago in Bethlehem Ralph I couldn’t find it 😂 any reason? AND. Should all Landys be the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 don't know why, must be some reason to do with axle articulation & suspension movement on/off road. my 1993 issue workshop manual makes no mention of sliding joint orientation.

DC_ Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 I think I’m sticking to sliding joint at transfer box then. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzar Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Does that mean that the inner bit of the joint is attached to the t/f box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 yes the slider joint end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Honestly I don’t think it makes any difference, as long as the thing is properly balanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickwilliams Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I thought they should be oriented so that water runs out of the joint if the props are submerged when wading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the joint is at the diff end (front prop) surely with forward motion it is more likely to scoop carp into the slider ? I would say both joints to transfer, the rear one being shielded by the transmission brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Very interesting stuff. here’s another book quote form the Range Rover book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 thinking out loud -- as 90/110 are more likely to be working vehicles in bad conditions/mud, having the sliding joints up by the transfer box makes more sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Hunter Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It seems there are conflicting statements in various publications, but the arguments above for having both sliding sections at the transfer box end of the props sounds like good sense to me, so that is how I'll be refitting mine, when the time comes.
