I need help! I snapped the driveshaft on my RX3 and there is not enough left to measure the length. I have an early RX7 driveshaft with the correct ends, but I need to know how far to get it cut down. There are some other length adjustments that have to be made, but anyway, what I really need to know is what is the length of a stock driveshaft on an RX3. Once I know that, I can figure out what I need from there.


Thanks
Eddie

Yes, I'm fixing the race car !

See you at MidOhio 7-31/8-1

 

do you have the long or short pinion shaft (diffy). There's a difference between a regular RX-3 and the RX-3 SP driveshaft.

 

Neither, 79 rx7 rear end.....

 

if ur using the 79 rear end, then you must have the short pinion. OK, I will measure it this weekend. I have the SP drivetrain with 83 GSL 3rd member.

 

Thanks! I'm going to fab on Sunday..........

 

glad to hear you are fixing it.. keeps my temptations to buy it away..

If you get into a bind.. I have a copy of an SP driveshaft made a few years ago for a racer friend of mine for his GT RX-3.

I am currently using the long pinion, and moved the engine/trans way back... far enough i had to fab my own front mount and trans mount... notch the shifter hole.. to the point, that finally... a stock 79-85 driveshaft works..

 

sorry, I hurt my back last saturday so i didnt get a chance to check it out. I dont know when I will be able to.
