Peugeot 504 Gearbox Strip Down | Workshop Uncut | Car S.O.S.

[@gepwxaqdfsidsesg1548]

The unusual thing about rear wheel drive Peugeots of this era was the torque tube layout, in which the engine, gear and diff were all solidly linked together using a big tube bolted to the diff and the back of the gearbox. The prop shaft was also solid and span inside the tube. This is one of the reasons that the diff was fixed to the subframe with cv joints on the drive shafts allowing the suspension to move without the diff moving. With a normal car the engine twists against the diff and the force has to be taken up by the diff mounts and engine mounts. On a Peugeot the force is absorbed by the torque tube and there are no twisting forces on either engine mounts or diff as it's a single solid unit. This also means that the torque and traction delivered to the left and right rear wheels is exactly the same, whereas with other solid rear axle cars of the day the torque of the prop shaft very slightly lifts one wheel. This is one of the reasons that the Peugeots were so good in poor conditions. At least that is my understanding. I read somewhere that Peugeots were the only 2 wheel drive vehicles that the local Police would allow into the Sahara desert, but this is from memory and I have no sources to cite. It's a shame that SOS didn't mention this in the program. Any car has a gearbox but not many have the torque tube arrangement.
