    Default Which driveshafts do I use?

    Hi all, my project is slowly but surely back on track now.
    The car is a VZV21 Camry (2.5L V6), the motor is a 3SGTE (ST205)
    and the gearbox is from a ST184 Celica (2.2L). What driveshafts do I use?

    st162 or sv21, you'll need to bolt the carrier for the drivers side shaft to the 3sgte block... it will require unbolting one of the intake manifold braces

    its a bracket that holds the DS half shaft bearing.
    3s-gte's dont have it as they have a 4wd box taking up that area.
    just head down to a wreckers and pop ur head underneath.

    else i can grab a photo for you tonight

    Hi Huy!
    great to hear from you again. A pic would be great! Cheers mate. With the shafts, the SV21 ones are pretty weak, I dont think they wil hopd up. Are there any other driveshafts they would work?

    Yeah... st162 will work, or maybe st184 (can't confirm this though). although I'm not sure they're any tougher than sv21 items

    That shafts should hold up though...

    Anyway this is the carrier (thanks for the picture buck!)
