RA28 front half tailshaft length

[TurboRA28]

Hi all, does anyone have a manual RA28 front half of a tailshaft that they can measure length for me? I believe mine has been shortened at some stage but now require it to be bit longer. Hoping I can just go back to a standard length one.

Thanks
Joel

Joel,

Manual tailshaft front section (this is the yoke end) szie is 462mm uni centre to flang the rear section is 680mm uni centre to uni centre.
I dont know if the auto is a different size?

"Tail shafts
All the Celica 2#, 3# and 4# tail shafts are interchangeable.
Cars with W or A series gearbox use the same front yoke.
Cars with a T series gearbox use a different yoke.
The tail shaft is the same - just change the front yoke to match the gearbox.


The more powerful 2#, 3# and 4# Celicas came with a 2 piece tail shaft.
They are interchangeable with the single piece tail shaft on the lesser models.
All 2#, 3# and 4# Celicas came with bolt holes for the centre bearing,
so either the single piece and 2 piece shaft can be put into any of the 2#, 3# and 4# Celicas.
The font yoke must still match the gearbox. "
