Looked at lots of photos of 6 Speed ute tail shafts and I just can't see where or if there is any sort of slip joint. Is there one? Or does it rely on flex in the donut? Anyone ?

Is that a 6 speed automatic or manual transmission? The manual has a slip joint at the trans end the automatic trans doesn't. In both case on the two piece drive shaft the flexible CV joint at the diff allows for plunging (vertical movement).

ZF transmission (6R80 style) in a ute say a BG. So when the diff goes up and down, what happens to the resulting horizontal movement? is there a slip joint somewhere in the shaft or just the rubber donut?

All the plunging is in the rear CVJ. There is no plunging between the centre bearing and flex coupling on the trans.

Thanks joolz. So would you know if the rear CVJ is the same for sedans or unique to Utes. I'm guessing sedans would still need a little bit just for fitting tolerances.

All sedans plunge in the rear CVJ. Auto utes also plunge in the rear CVJ. Manual utes plunge in the centre CVJ.
