wanted: S2 6spd front half shafts, RS2 shift linkage, RS2 transmission mounts

[archiboy24]

must be in good condition, of course!

[AnLe]

s2 fronts are same in 5speed 6speed versions.

[archiboy24]

Hmmm. I was told they were different.

[mcandmar]

They are different, 6speed box is wider so you need shorter shafts, inner flanges are also larger on S2.

[WabTheKing]

yep def different actual drive shaft is larger in diameter too

[porkkis]

8A0 407 271 AC
8A0 407 272 AC

Those are the front drive shafts for both 3B and ABY S2. Same number, same length, same diameter!
Case closed, finally?
7A has 100mm flanges and S2's have 108.

[AnLe]

well, they have same part number, and I changed gearbox and used orginal front drive shafts. But maybe righthand side cars are different.

[WabTheKing]

opps sorry still had my 7A head on porkkis is correct

porkkis are you a human parts cross ref machine?

[AnLe]

I may add here, that i told porkkis that they have same partnumers

AKTE alias familyalbum helps.

[porkkis]

That's right and only because I hadn't checked that by myself but believed "rumours" from this forum...

And yes there are tools available to check these things and not to guess and ask everything.

Double check everything, saves you money.

[mcandmar]

Ok i'm very confused, 5speed and 6speed S2's have the same shafts Then what about 7A's then, are they different or have i bought two shafts for no reason?

Mark.

[porkkis]

7A has smaller inner CV joints and flanges at the box end of course also.
