I hate rebuilding cars.Went to fit tailshaft to the HT and guess what the universals don,t fit. The trouble is the tailshaft ends that accept the universals are smaller than the gearbox and diff. i.e. the gap between the bearing surfaces on the tailshaft is 43.5 mm and the gearbox is 59.3mm. Did Holden make an of-set universal or are all universals the same dimensions all round. The gearbox is v8 M20. Have I got a 6 cylinder tailshaft. Do v8 and 6 cylinders use the same unis and tailshaft. I hate rebuilding cars.

i love rebuilding cars, but there are times i shake my head and wonder why, lol

ok, there are V8 tail shafts and 6 cyl tail shafts, they are different, the yoke (the bit that goes into the gearbox) will slide into all gearboxes (except turbos) the V8s are thicker and use bigger unis than the 6s

in the later holdens (HQ-WB) the tonners had even bigger unis
