I have seen that demonstrator before, but the sprockets and old credit card do explain it a lot better then the strobe light.

Now where is the one with a double cardon CV?

Guess I'll have to check that one out too! Didn't think of looking for one of those but I guess it would be more relevant considering I have them on front and rear of my Bronco!

Interesting video.

Makes you really wonder why we all shim our rear-end a few degrees upward. According to this, the rear yoke should be on the same plane as the rear output shaft of the TC.

Not with a double-cardan at one end!

And "we" do not shim the rear to be a "few degrees upward". Correctly done, the dif yoke should be almost perfectly in line with the driveshaft, approximately one-degree lower than that. The angle of the dif relative to "earth", is of not what is of concern.

^ I didn't even think about the double-cardan, obviously that changes things...
