ferny Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 They're the correct shape. That's without knowing their length and number of splines.Here's an exploded driveshaft view if it's any use to you;http://blueyed.explorationing.com/?p=41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toledo Man Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Manual and Triomatic driveshafts are different. The engine and running gear is the same as the Civic so I think the driveshafts should be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_343 Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 thanks for your help guys thank fully it was due to play in the old anti roll bar bushes as i replaces the 2 bottom arms and the old bushes were loose in the mounting causing all sorts of noises which are commonly associated with drive shafts being knackard lol.

Pawel Saladziak Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Does anyone know a compatible driveshaft for my both triumphs? Triomatic and manual one.So far I found this one:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Q-Dr.....7:g:TQwAAOxyEoFSVZYO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Acclaim Guru Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think the rover 216 had the VW gear box if I remember correctly. Rover engine had a clockwise rotation unlike the Acclaim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 The 216 "cabriolet" would be the later, Honda Concerto based hatchback. That used a Honda engine and gearbox. The 214 used a Peugeot-derived gearbox. The earlier, boxy, Ballade-based 216 was a British engine but I don't know where the gearbox originated.

Barry Acclaim Guru Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Manual drive shafts do differ from triomatic ones, they are not interchangeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawel Saladziak Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks Barry,any ideas how to deal with the ones that stacked in the gearbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Acclaim Guru Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 two large screwdrivers opposite each other and wiggle them back and forth alternatively until the circlip compresses and the drive shaft pops out.Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawel Saladziak Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Well, I am sure that this was already done, but as water got into the socket, it's rusted and stucked. WD40 does not help at all. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Acclaim Guru Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Oooch! only pull the drive shaft out of the end of the gearbox coupling, and leave the coupling stuck in the box. you should be able to save the gaiter and use it again, but if not a drive shaft boot of the gineric type will fit.

Pawel Saladziak Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 On the other hand, Haynes manual does not mention about difference between traumatic and manual gearbox model shaft versions.Does anyone now actual sizes of traumatic version driveshafts?
