340 1.7 Prop Shaft. Needed urgently.

Post by spamofthejungle » 04 Aug 2016 01:55 pm

Hey all, this is my first post, only bought my 340 two days ago -_-

I had the audacity to attempt to change gear from 2nd to 3rd and the propshaft shat itself, stripped the rear splines.

So, I'm in the market for a prop, if anyone has one or knows of anyone who does please let me know, thanks.

Sam.

You changed from 2nd to 3rd? Are you mad? :lol:

Sorry to hear your ownership experience hasn't gone too well so far! Don't know of a prop but there are often popping up on eBay/Facebook. You'll need one from a 5 speed car, either 1.4 or 1.7 will fit. Expect it'll be around £20-70.

I was fairly certain its not dependant on the number of manual gears (ie 4 speed should be the same). I think there is a difference between manual and automatic (CVT) types on the 340.

The diff is different on the 4 speed to keep the gearbox and drive flanges in the same place.
