Hey Guys,
I got four CV rebuild kits from PMB Performance. I disassembled the old shafts and cleaned them up. When trying to assemble the new kit I found out that some putz installed another type of axle. One has 33 teeth, the other has 25 teeth. The 33 tooth one fits the PMB rebuild kits. The other obviously does not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Can someone tell me what is stock on these cars? I could really use a 33 tooth drive shaft ASAP is someone is willing to sell me one. I don't need the CVs since I have new ones ready to be installed. Here are pics of them to help clarify: http://www.flickr.com/photos/infinitelydig...57594576272133/ Thanks! |

I thought they still sell complete 914-6 axle shafts with CV joints.
Other than the spline count, they are interchangeable with 914-4 axle assemblies. I have some 914-4 axle shafts (cheap, like $5.00 + shipping) if you want one. They are heavy and would cost something to ship. Yes with some minor machining, 911 CV joints will fit 914-6 axle shafts. That is what I use in my 3.2 conversion street car. Check my BLOG. I didn't think 914-6 axles are rare because that is all you used to be able to buy. (It looks like pelican sells 4-cyl axles??? (I bet that is wrong). ) If pelican still sells NEW 4-cyl axles, then someone still makes the CV joints. I'd bet money that they have 25 splines, and therefore the CV's won't fit standard 4-cyl axle shafts. Good luck |
