Description and Operation
Driveshaft System Operation
The two-piece driveshaft, manufactured from lightweight tubular steel, transmits drive from the engine, via the transmission,
to the differential. The driveshaft aligns with the centerline of the vehicle’s body and is supported by a center bearing.
The driveshaft's front tube is of swaged construction, which is a crash energy management feature, designed to collapse
progressively and predictably in the event of a severe frontal impact. A low-friction splined slip-joint at the center of the
driveshaft provide the driveshaft's plunge capability.
Flexible couplings connecting the driveshaft to both the transmission and the differential counteract the angular movement of
the driveshaft caused by the driveline's acceleration and braking forces.
The center universal joint is positioned at a specified angle using shims between the center bearing and the vehicle's body.
The driveline angles have been carefully configured to balance minimum power losses with excellent vibration and wear
characteristics. The universal joint is lubricated during manufacture and sealed for life.

60 Oil seal The multi-plate clutch is contained in a clutch basket attached to the differential carrier with the crown wheel securing bolts.
Alternate plates of the clutch pack are keyed to the clutch basket and the LH sun gear. A pressure disc is installed on the outer end of the clutch pack and keyed to the clutch basket. A thrust race on the end of the clutch basket incorporates lugs which
extend through the clutch basket onto the pressure disc.
The actuator assembly is mounted on bearings on the outboard end of the clutch basket, against the thrust race. The actuator
assembly consists of input and output actuators separated by five ball bearings. A locking pin in the cover engages with a slot
in the output actuator to prevent it turning, but allow it to move axially. The input actuator engages with the reduction gearbox
and is free to rotate relative to the cover. Ball bearings locate in curved grooves in the mating faces of the input and
output actuators. The bottom surface of each groove incorporates a ramp. Rotation of the input actuator forces the ball
bearings up the ramps in the grooves and induces an axial movement in the output actuator. The thrust race and pressure disc
transfer the axial movement from the output actuator to the clutch pack.
Item Description 1 Actuator 2 Multi-plate clutch 3 Differential The motor is a 12 V dc motor that adjusts the frictional loading of the multi-plate clutch, via the reduction gearbox and the
actuator assembly, under the control of the DLM. Adjusting the frictional loading of the multi-plate clutch adjusts the locking
torque between the crown wheel drive gear and the sun wheel.
Four bolts attach the motor to the reduction gearbox, which is located in position on the cover with two dowels, and secured
with four bolts. An O-ring seals the joint between the motor and the reduction gearbox.
The motor is driven by a 12 V dc feed direct from the DLM. The motor also incorporates the following connections with the
DLM:
A motor temperature sensor, to prevent excessive use from damaging the motor.
Two Hall effect motor position sensors, to enable closed loop control of the motor.
The temperature sensor provides a differential oil temperature signal to the DLM, to prevent excessive use from damaging the
multi-plate clutch.
Differential Locking Module (DLM)
The DLM controls operation of the electronic differential. The DLM is attached to a bracket located on the LH side of the luggage compartment, immediately forward of the fender tail lamp, behind the trim.

Rear Drive Halfshafts - Inner Constant Velocity (CV) Joint Boot
Removal and Installation
Removal Published: 11-May-2011
1. WARNING: Do not work on or under a vehicle supported only by a
jack. Always support the vehicle on safety stands.
Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Remove the rear halfshaft.
For additional information, refer to: Rear Halfshaft - TDV6 3.0L Diesel /V8 5.0L Petrol/V8 S/C 5.0L Petrol (205-05 Rear Drive Halfshafts, Removal and Installation).
3. CAUTION: Use suitable protective covers to protect the halfshaft.
Using a suitable clamp, secure the rear halfshaft.
4. CAUTION: Make sure the inner constant velocity (CV)
joint is not separated from the halfshaft.
Remove and discard the inner CV joint boot retaining clip.
5. CAUTION: Make sure the CV joint ball bearings do not
drop out of the CV joint.
Using a suitable tool, remove the inner CV joint. www.JagDocs.com
