Gearbox to transfer box prop length
Recently acquired a excellent transfer box prop, however this one is very short, about 13inches as I remember , seller couldn't remember the donor but thinks it was a 93 463, does the automatic have a shorter prop than the manual? Can't see numbers on it.
Don't know about the manual version, but, yes an auto prop-shaft is very short as you describe.
300GD with OM617 to 5 speed Getrag 460 transfer prop is 305mm fully closed.
280GE auto SWB/LWB transfer prop is 236mm fully closed = A460.410.12.02 replaced by A 460 410 40 04
(and is right prop to fit 5 speed steel MB gearbox to a OM617).
Not sure if that helps...463 will be different but auto boxes do seem to be longer than manual gearboxs so auto transfer props are shorter as a rule.
