will i am Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 putting a starion motor and box into my ex lancer have a driveshaft that came off a sigma that had the starion motor/box in it (starion yoke) also have the original ex lancer driveshaft figured if i change the yoke over it would be straight forward problem i have run into is the starion yoke is wider than the lancer one i have thought off a few ways to get around my problem 1 find a universal joint to suit 2 shorten the sigma driveshaft to suit (approx 100mm to long) has anyone else run into this problem? or have a solution thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 you can get ujs that are wider on one of the crosses... we use them at work all the time, my tech terms got left at work... but basically it would fit the one small to one large.. take the driveshaft and the yoke you wanna use to a driveline shop and see if they have an off the shelf uj thatll work. if not it would be easier to shorten the drivehsaft..

evil_si Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Uj's with differnt leg lengths are a bit more specialised than repco The likes of beattys or adl would have been the go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 asking for a sparkplug is a bit too specialised for repco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will i am Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 depends who you get at repco. when we order parts at work we avoid talking to some muppets on the other end funny enough i use to be a muppet on the other end getting abuse from the trade at repco good times lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
