list,
i have measured my auto tailshaft against a '72 model 1600 manual and they
were the same length.......
also, they are light blue, and consist of the same yoke...... this tailshaft
did not fit either......the yoke incl. dust cover was also identical to the
stanza tailshaft which came with the box........
the gearbox required reversing of the original x-member and 20 mm
spacers.......
are there any other dogleg stanza 5 speeds??????
tailshaft is in the process of being cut thursday arvo......
