Title: Drive shafts
Post by: gtigadge on December 31, 2007, 10:49:54 am

Probs the wrong section but after stripping my MF engined 16TD apart after suspected transmission failure (turns out the RH inner drive shaft CV is completely gone) I need some quick info on replacements.  

I have been told two different things leaving me clueless, even more so than normal :shock:   One statement is that all the MK2 golf driveshafts are the same and the other that the spline size going into the hub is different for say mine to a GTI.

What shafts are interchangeable if any.  Car is MF engined as stated earlier, UK RHD 1990 mk2 golf so looking for a (drivers,UK) USA passenger side driveshaft, the fat long one  :D

Cheers
Gadge

Good enough for me mate, will do.  It was the splined drive to the hub I was unsure of aswell but should be easy enough to sort :D
