MQ/MK Patrol Driveshafts 5 speed
Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2007 7:11 pm
I have a MQ LWB 4spd originally diesel with 308. I bought it like this so I can only assume gearbox is in original location.
Whilst I dont really want to change to 5 speed now I have the opportunity to pick up some driveshafts from a turbo diesel MK LWB.
BUT... my plan is to pick up a MK parts car in the future with a 5spd and also aircon to re-fit to my car. If i get the suitable driveshafts now it wont matter whether i get a LWB or SWB.
I have the following questions.
1. Are petrol and diesel factory 5 speed gearboxes in the same place (ie driveshafts the same?)
2. Is the SWB 5 speed front driveshaft the same length as the LWB 5 speed driveshaft.
3. So do I get just the rear driveshaft, or both?
