Banjo Gear oil Question.
I would appreciate it if a Fordbarner would give an explanation of what the little passageway on the end of the torque tube is for and how it functions.
I think it's related to rear gear oil flow. You can see the upside down "U" Shaped passageway in the upper right of center in the photo. Thank you. JIM Last edited by 19Fordy; 08-07-2020 at 12:59 PM. |

Re: Banjo Gear oil Question.
From what I gather it should be installed on the bottom and allows the gear oil to return to the diff when it passes thru the pinion double bearings.

Re: Banjo Gear oil Question.
I understood the passage has to be kept open, gasket also aligned, to provide run-back of oil as well as venting up torque tube so wheel seals will not leak.

Re: Banjo Gear oil Question.
Also if you install a Mitchell overdrive, you should vent the axle due to much shorter torque tube between the banjo and the Mitchell gearbox.
