OK so i wanted to get new bearings in my driveline. The guy says he cant do it.. took it to a few places.. I know they can be replaced i have seen someone get it done. Do i have to buy a brand new Driveline?
88rx7 btw 5speed

 

yeah the bearings in our drivelines are not "replaceable" by design. you can either buy a new one or buy a used one... ive probbaly got one somewhere i can sell.

 

they are "staked in" u joints, plenty of aftermarket shafts tho that use replaceable u joints, find yourself a good used aftermarket shaft, and you should be set

 

The driveline i got at the meet is either bad. or i dammaged the seal.. Im working on getting it fixed. But would be nice to get new (spare) driveline so i wont have to worry about it for a long time...

 

damaged the seal? what happesn does it vibrate or something? or are u talking the seal in the back of the trany is leaking?

 

If it helps I have a drivetrain fs for cheap? Mid miles (50k~), save yourself some trouble I'm
sure.

 

Yes leaking big time all the way down the exhaust..Gear oil is Stanky too..
I think either the driveshaft seal got ate up by the driveshaft.. Looks like its been sand papered for some reason the part that fits inside the tranny.. OR i damaged the seal when trying to take it out without lowering the exhaust..
Ill know a bit later..
Now i bet i got everyone beat on leaks....
Gear box leak. Oil leak Water Leak.. And clutch leak. heh

 

UPDATE:
So i took the drive line back out. Also took the tranny seal out too..
I took my old drive shaft and the one i got from the nice dude forgot his name. the guy with the 944 in oly.. I looked at both side by side. And my drive line is shiny and polished.. Like the Hydrolic shafts you see at construction sites. And i looked at this drive line i just took back off. and it looks very grainy and cloudy.. even looks like someone took sand paper to it in a circler motion. Is this bad? or would it make any difference?

I put a New seal in, And Looked at the old one. Cant really tell worth **** if there is something wrong with it. Looks fine to my eye..

I hate to put the drive line back in to a new seal if its going to eat it away!

Can the drive line be Re polished? So it wont make friction with the seal?

If anyone has a spare Drive line for a 5speed it would be nice. I would like to get out of the house this weekend.. thanks

 

I've got oil pan gasket leak, MOP leak, exhaust leak, heater core leak, and my gas use to leak. I had you beat but now were tied. I got the gas leak taken care of asap. sorry for the tread jack.

 

Oh no problem.
I have a water leak mixing with the oil leak. to make a watery oily leak.
its just pissing me off so bad cause i cant tell where its all coming from... besides the damn tranny leak i am hoping to fix. The 5speed gear oil leak is what i worry about the most...
No Warning light for the 5speed.. you loose the gear oil your flucked.

 

tranny ,brakes,rad,motor. all leak ..beat that..i park in gravel dont u no..
