Errrrrr I think ive found my problem!

[Nealevo]

I was about to start with the gearbox change, got it up on the ramp and noticed this little problem



So has anyone got a sdrive shaft lying around??
Driverside....

the Torque haS KILLED THIS ONE.

[M-R-P]

Sodding hell Neal!
You're lucky it didn't fall out all the way and hole the floorpan on it's way out the back of the car.

[graemewelch]

you lucky fella. id rather change a shaft that a gearbox

[Harvey]

Just shows its not build like a Jag,well you now have a in stock gearbox,can you just fit a new end unit ?.

Or get one of these .

At least it's the hub end so no bits went into the gear box.whats the abs sensor looking like ?.

[Wobbly Dave]

....whats the abs sensor looking like ?.

its the sensor that fits in the steering knuckle - but that's not important right now.

I have spare ABS sensors & a short half - though I fear that this is the one with the bolt in the end not the nut. You need to put a screwdriver in the disk vents to stop it rotating and a heafty bar to get the nut off.

Or just put the wheel back on & lower it to the ground. With the centre cap off.

That's what I did, but if you've got an impact driver, then even better.

Wasn't sure that was possible with the nut based version.

[claymore]

Well, that's a win, soon be back on the road.

I guess it depends how thick the socket walls are ,3/4 drive or 1/2 drive impact socket or not.

Yep, already sourced a driveshaft, it should be back on road Wednesday, then I have to refit rad with new coolant the intercooler, with new (expensive RIP kit) and alternator

Sounds nice list of jobs sorted out.

That where I looked mate, just glanced at the other side and it as hanging down. I'm so stooooopid. But hopefully that all that's wrong

[Jim S70R]

Wow that was certainly lucky that's the only damage that did. Atleast it's a simple ish fix though rather than a box change.

[Biff]

Jeez man you were lucky, that could've totalled the beast!
Least it's an easier fix, happy days.

[Jamest5r]

Anyway that will teach you for racing me, just cos you lost 2 in a row there was no need to be so brutal with your launch

[JT]

lucky escape!

watch out for those rip kits, bent a rod after I fitted mine
