How far can I drive w/o a driveshaft?
 

Hey everyone,

89 YJ, 4.2

Rear driveshaft blew out of the Jeep, and a bolt got stuck well enough that
I need it on a lift to get it out...

I have a buddy with a shop about 5 km's away, will my transfer case make it
that far? The fluid spills everywhere when I try to drive it, so that
worries me.. alot...

Regards,
Chris

One if these YJ guys will chime in for you, but if I were in your shoes I
would not drive far at all. I believe you can cut the top off a coke can
and affix it to your rear output shaft and hold in the oil for a short time.
Or can you have your buddy pull you that far?

Yeah, I'll get it on a float. It's a heavily patrolled area by the ministry,
so it's not worth risking the chain.

I'll just have to wait the few hours until my buddy isn't busy!

Thanks,
Chris

I wouldn't drive at all it if it's loosing gear oil. There is only about 3
pints in there anyway.
