clio dirve shaft

[Gibbo]

hi all my mate has got a clio 1.9D lol but the dirve shaft has gon. will any other fit on it like from a 1.2 ect???:)

[_JH_]

probably not, it's french lol

There are even 2 types for the 1.2, one being 5mm longer. As the CVs aren't an easy job to change, they are readily changed as a whole unit, and therefore quite cheap. Last Clio shaft I fitted cost around £30-35.

Good luck

check it is the shaft though. i had a clio 1.8 16v and when you gave it jip it would pop the cir-clip out of the diff and you would loose drive. (it did this 3-4 time whilst i had it!)

easy job to fix, shaft out diff pushed back together and new clip in.


might be that?

Are they still using tripoid inner joints? oh the fun I had with an R19 16v once, came in for a clutch, joint fell apart as I took the shaft out, gearbox sent for rebuild to get all the needle bearings out, then the new joint fell apart again when we put it back together so it all had to be stripped again!
