Tailshaft for 1G ra28.

[thomasbl]

As far as i have read in other threads, an auto tailshaf from 28's suits a w58 conversion into an ra28? Hoping for a few people to clarify this, lots of members rids list it in the conversion area but couldn't find a heap of detail. Is it a straight swap over? Do you need to change the yoke and end flange? Are these the same as 23 tailshafts? prace for a second hand one? Obviosly im running the standard rear end at the moment, will consider a conversion a little later down the track if it deosnt hold up but would just like to get it driving sooner rather than later. Thanks.

yes the stock auto tailshaft fits the w58, i tried it on the weekend!

The RA23 stock manual tailshaft fits the W57 behind my 1G-GZE and bolts to the stock rear end (obviously!). Nothing is written about this because the original parts just fits. End of story.

yeah stock one fits my w58 1ggte with stock rearend. People then usually shorten the stock one to fit an upgraded rear end.

[thomasbl]

Thanks guys. I gather the stock manual tailshaft is a different length?
In short, for the stock rear end, with a w58 in a ra28, i need to source a second hand stock auto tailshaft from a 23 or 28? Correct me if im wrong.

No, with a stock rear end with a w58, you should have no trobles using a manual tailshaft...

ive got one here with a new uni joint in the rear of it, as i upgraded to a solid one, $50 (the price of the uni) if you arrange the courier to pick it up,

pm me if interested.

Ah. Cheers. Ill have a go at the manual one. I must have has some dodgy info as i was under the impression the auto one was the only way to go.

IN O5 NT, ill see how i go with the surrent manual one i have. Thanks for the offer.

stock manual ra23 tailshaft fitted my 1ggte + is200 6 speed also.

Now that im going f-series rear end im using a auto ta22 shaft which will be shortened as required by the diff shop.

the auto tailshaft mod is for w boxes into TA22's if i recall correctly, thats probably where you have heard it from

for RA23 to RA65 stock will bolt up

What is the difference between the Auto and Manual RA2# Tailshaft?

[rob]

nothing 7890

[Kedderz]

my manual ra23 is a two piece, the ta22 one I now have is a single piece.

[stradlater]

Haha. Cheers for the reference Twenty-Eight!

Thomas - Damn shame you didn't ask for this a month ago, I just sold my modded tailshaft to a guy who wanted one to hack up, into a ae86.

Would ahve been PERFECT for your setup. Alas.... :-(

Let me know wher eyou go to get one made up if you do because I'll be wanting to get my new single piece done by someone decent.
