  • Driveshaft query

    Hii everyone

    can any of the maestro guru’s help me on this. Are the driveshafts the same across the 1.3 and 1.6 engine and auto or manual.

    Cant find any compatibility info anywhere and the workshop manual just gives you measurements for one shaft and doesnt state if its a manual or auto

    thanks in advance

    As far as I am aware the autos are different, the 1.3 and 1.6 manual are the same.

        According to the parts list you are right, all 1300/1600 auto/manual the same apart from the Police spec 1600

              Not a problem mate. Im afraid you get people that will charge premium for parts they say are specific to a certain variant.

                there seems to be a variety of part numbers for the outboard cv joints, but since they go into the same hub at one end and same driveshaft at the other they must be pretty similar.. the shafts and inboard joints were all same part number. bar th Police ones, which I guess may have had a bigger diameter shaft perhaps, but would probably still fit.
