1.9 And 1.6 Driveshafts?

[Guest pug309GTI]

My Left Hand driveshaft has packed up on my 309 MI16.

 

 

 

Can i take the driveshaft of. Stick a 1.6 driveshaft on i have sat spare and then go and get new 1.9 driveshaft.

no the 1.9 and 1.6 shafts are different the 1.9 is thicker so the hubs are different

[Guest sorrentogreen205]

I thought they were the same, or at least they all fit together anyway. Im pretty sure of that from what i have read about changing 1.6 hubs for 1.9 hubs you can still use the 1.6 driveshafts.

 

They might be different in size but i am sure they interchange..

if you have 1.9 hubs you can only use 1.9 driveshafts, if you have 1.6 hubs you can only use 1.6 driveshafts. the gearbox end is the same, only the hub end varies.

You should be able to use the 1.6 shaft, The 309 uses the same hub across the injected range, unlike the 205 for some reason.

I thought that the 205 & 309 drive shafts were different lengths?

[Guest kdcti]

shoud think 309 are longer as its got a wider track i think?

i think pug309gti is completely on about 309 driveshafts 

Me too.

 

The 309 has the same driveshafts across the engine XU engine cars AFAIK

 

The SRi, XSi GTi and diesel, the only difference might be the caliper offset but I can't see it being that much of a difference.

I assumed he meant a 205 1.6 driveshaft, which wouldn't work, but I didn't know 309 1.6 ones were the same as 1.9 ones, thats handy for people doing 309 wishbone swaps...

[Guest pug309GTI]

yes i was on about 309 driveshafts.

 

It was my left hand driveshaft on my 309 goodwood that broke.

 

Fixed now as i borught a new driveshaft.

 

 

 

 

surely that driveshafts aren't the same ascross the 309 range otherwise why would GSF have different part numbers for different models
