EXACTLY.. if they won't put tires on it, how can they AFFORD $$ a trans??

​@@TeemarkConvair it's not necessary that they can't afford something, it's more that they won't. I've met many a wealthy person who wear cheap, worn out clothing and drives clapped out cars.

​@ORRadtech right, I work as a mobile mechanic and often then not the people with the most money are often the cheapest. And people with the least money who absolutely need their cars and can't afford new ones with pay better.

[@boelensds]

maybee they do not want to spend money on preventive maintenance and replace only when broken to safe the environment. think outside of box.

[@mspeir]

It's been nearly a decade since I've worked on an E4OD, but if I remember correctly, the output shaft slides into the transmission and then the tail housing slides over that. If there's anything in there, it will be the parking gear. The output shaft should be supported quite well inside the transmission and it's unlikely that it caused any major damage. Also, there is no bearing at the end of the tail housing; It's a bushing. I'm guessing it wore down to the point that the shaft was running directly on the housing, which resulted in the catastrophic fail. Drop the transmission pan and look for sparkly bits. If there isn't any, I'd just replace the housing and output shaft.

[@hoseman1]

[@brandonscarfe8803]

[@golf25radioman]

The discoloration on the tail shaft of the trans says that bearing was smoking hot before failure. And the difficult removal of the driveshaft is another symptom. A junkyard trans might be the only option, along with rebuilding the driveshaft. So, I agree with your assessment of the needs. End of transmission! lol

[@adotintheshark4848]

I'm wondering why Ray put the shaft back on. The van was already immobile and couldn't be driven.

[@golf25radioman]

@@adotintheshark4848 He could drive it in/out of the shop...not wanting to tie up his hoist until the customer decides if to fix.

[@dennislaur2515]

I agree with you Ray. best to just put a new transition. Up to the customer if its from a junkyard, new or rebuilt. For the tires. There is a reason why the DOT require the manufacture date to be stamped into them. The compounds in the rubber brake down over time and will fail.

[@charliefox7206]

A friend of mine had a 1990's something (time now 2015), Dodge Ram truck, AWD; I think a 250. This truck was used for work and pleasure. This fellow spent his weekends with his family at the cottage (about 2.5 hours away). Anyhow he didn't show up for work Monday morning. In the afternoon he reported to work without his million miler truck. His story was, he was about halfway home and the truck started to vibrate. The fellow didn't thing anything of it. The vibration turned to violent shaking and he continued driving. Then with a lot of prewarning, the driveshaft shot right through the truck's floor. Needless to say, he bought a new Dodge truck.🦊

[@stuartlatham9814]

We all like to get best use out of our cars/trucks but really, what heaps of cra£ you get to fix! 🖖😎

[@cosmoarmstrong8701]

You will need a new trans. On E4OD you were only seeing half the shaft length. The other half of the shaft within the transmission is piloting two carriers w/clutches above them along with 4 piloting bushings. So with the load and excess eccentricity the unsupported drive shaft transfered into the transmission. The damage unseen to the internals would reek catastrophic problems in a short time. Your decision to replace the whole transmission is sound .

[@gregforeman5530]

New tires and new transmission for sure!!! I think I would send the driveline out to be checked out also.

Based on the condition of peripherals on it, the cheapest options are going to be the win, so I'd say a junkyard transmission, and they might even have a better set of tires than what's there for a cheaper price. My local junkyard had decent tires starting at about $20.

[@scottfirman]

I have had vans in the past. They require a different rated tire than a car. The tires cost more for that reason. My Ford Van had a odd ball sized rim and tire. I had to purchase replacement rims in order to go to a standard sized tires. I want to say they were a 16.5. Even after 300k, that van ran like a watch. 351 Windsor with a heavy duty transmission.

Howdy Ray, my teacher, Mr. Peffley always told me that if something like that happens, then there is a high chance that the transmission is junk as well, since all of that force put a lot of back pressure or pressure on the internal gears of the transmission. Safe, best, and cheapest bet is to get a junkyard transmission. Cuz I would buy the whole transmission rather than having to pay for the tail-end and then have to purchase a transmission. If I was the customer: Purchase the whole thing.

When you started beating on the drives haft, all I could think of was "more cowbell" from Saturday Night Live.

[@dennissmith8199]

The bearing that failed is the split sleeve that was on the yoke. The yoke s forward end rides in it and allows the yoke to slide in and out as the rear axle moves up and down and allow for removal of the driveshaft.
