hello guys,

im looking for the right drive axle for my m20 5gear conversion, now is a standard 4gearbox mounted, the axle measures 1540 millimeters if its correct, the axle i am looking for should be a little more shorter? because the getrag 242 is a lot longer than a 4gearbox?

can somebody help me to get the length of the right axle i am looking for?

friendly greetings G

I know there was a topic started about this:

Maybe this can help.

I have mine did the same thing will happen in exchange for 4 to 5 and what ice is cut in half and weld again, then send it to the lathe for you to stay balanced and everything perfect.

the extention housing of the 5th gear makes the gearbox 89mm longer than a 4 speeder...... so whatever length the propshaft is now it needs 89mm taking out of it.
