Service Procedure: Propeller Shaft Angle Inspection
▶ PROTRACTOR (digital inclinometer)
USAGE
Bottom surface of protractor is magnetic.
To initialize angle measurements, set the
protractor against a reference surface.
When the reference position is set, press
the All Zero button to set to zero (0).
Arrows indicate positive or negative angles.
IMPORTANT
Orientation of the protractor affects the
measurement reading.
Always orient the protractor so
that the LCD display can be read
from the DRIVER’S SIDE of the
vehicle.
This will ensure that positive (+)
measurements (UP arrow) will be
consistent with the definitions in this TSB.

▶ PROPELLER SHAFT ANGLE DEFINITIONS
IMPORTANT
The propeller shaft angles Θ1 and Θ2 are defined as follows:
(Θ1): Angle Between Engine/Trans To Front Shaft Section
(Θ2): Angle Between Front and Rear Shaft Sections
(A): Protractor Angle Measurement Position
PLEASE NOTE Θ1 and Θ2 have different reference positions. This means the protractor
must be zeroed on the transmission for Θ1, and then re-zeroed on the front of the propeller
shaft for Θ2.
Angle Specifications (degrees) are shown below. If the measured angles are not within these
specifications, washers must be installed to adjust the angles to specifications, as described
in the service procedures below.
Propeller Shaft Angle Specifications:
Θ1: -0.6 to 0.4
Θ2: -0.3 to 0.7
*** The Θ1 angle directions are positive (+) when the front portion of the propeller shaft
slopes downwards (front to back) when compared to the transmission, and negative (-) when
the front portion of the propeller shaft slopes upwards.
*** The Θ2 angle directions are positive (+) when the rear portion of the propeller shaft slopes
downwards (front to back) when compared to the front portion of the propeller shaft, and
negative (-) when the rear portion propeller shaft slopes upwards.
