    Default Nova Driveshafts

    I have a 1.3 Nova rally car fitted with a F13 sccr box and it keeps leaking gear oil from the left hand side drive shaft oil seal.

    I have fitted a new oil seal twice but it still leaks so the next option must be to change the drive shaft, cv's etc

    What I'm stuck on is how can I tell if I have standard 1.3 shafts or GTE ones fitted ? The CV that goes into the box has 22 splines.

    Can GTE shafts be fitted as a straight swap and anyone got any new shafts for sale?

    Cheers

    yes you can mix them any nova shaft will fit it only matters when fitting new cv joints to gte shafts as there were 22spline and 28 spline iirc.
