which prop shaft do i have?

[evanmandos]

Dear readers,

i have a mk2(ford transit 100) 9 seater, and it has fitted an overdrive unit(on the standard-4-speed gearbox). Now i don't knwo what kind of prop shaft is fitted since the haynes manual and ford workshop manual only talk about props with a "steekas"(a rod with teeth which you stick into the gearbox) and my prop has flanges on the differential side as well as on the overdrive unit side.

could anyone help me out with the type of this prop and if there are differences with the standard tranny prop? the centre bearing of my prop looks an awful lot like this(also different from standard ford):

good news for you! your prop is the correct one and also the best/ strongest of them all!

glad to hear that manandvan, but do you possibly have some more info on which exact center bearing i should order for this prop? i don't feel like removing the current one to check size and depend on the parts-dealer when the van will run again...

hi i dont have the part no, but this is a common type of prop bearing and as far as i,m aware they are one common size for numerous vehicles.
