Umm... I did a cvt to manual swap and I removed the cvt shafts and swapped in the manual ones. I didnt measure exactly but the long shaft(drivers side) looked the same to me. The left one is different cvt to manual. Im pretty sure its shorter. I didnt really look at the splines on the box end. They hub end fitted fine though.
I might be able to dig up a photo of the cvt ones.. hang on.
that's sounds like a deal..I'm on holidays until wednesday 4th november......who much are they going for... considering I only need the diff...... any info would be g. appreciated... I'll check my local wreaker 2 see what he's got (shudda done that first, but usually they don't keep the broken ones.....)...hay qwerty... need a real closeup or even macro of the drive splines, gearbox end.... please email the pix i've they're too big..... if you want....
An RS5F30A can be found in lots of old front drive nissans from the 80's. Anything 1.3L or there abouts would be a good bet. I'm sure you'd be able to find something cheap/free.
How soon do you need it? Not sure why i didn't think of it sooner, in a cpl of weeks I'm having my gbox rebuilt, clutch pack lsd diff etc, u can have the one i'm removing, 100k kms good nick, and u don't have to scrap a box 2 get it, let me know.
thanks mickey.... that's sounds like a deal..... I'm not in a real hurry, I'm at the final design decision making and collecting bits to get it back to a rolling chasis.
