Brilliant, thanks very much for your help!!!!! So buying 2.0 172 sport driveshafts will be fine for the cup or early non cup gear box???

Thanks, my cup is a 2003 though, does that matter? Just go for 1 with a speedo sensor?

Thanks for this information, so what year sport would fit my 2003 CUP? i need to buy 1 ASAP but don't want to buy the wrong one ;-) many thanks

Thanks for that, I'll make sure I order 1 piece.... also, would a gearbox from a 172 sport (2003) fit my 172 cup (2003)? many thanks

Gear box knackered, the oil looked like a glitter pen..... So while I'm replacing the box, I'm replacing the clutch and both driveshafts...... Any recommendations???

I haven't removed the shafts yet, does anyone know if the drivers side shaft on a 2003 cup is 1 piece or 2 piece? Thanks

Thanks, so i can order the 1 piece drive shafts as long as their ph2 shafts? Or am I better off ordering the 2 piece drivers side shaft?? Sorry but this is all new to me.

Hey, sorry for jumping on your thread, but I'm looking to replace both my driveshafts, I have a phase 2 172 cup. Will driveshafts off a 172 non cup fit? or does it have to be cup shafts? ive also been told there are 2 types of drivers side shafts, 1 piece or 2 piece, is this correct? many...

Thanks for all the advice guys, going up on a ramp in the morning so hopefully find the problem!!

Really?? 2nd, 4th & 5th are perfectly fine though, there's no crunching or anything.

Thanks very much!!

Thanks very much, I'll check that out!! The linkage sounds very loose, rattling and covered in oil (dripping in it) would this be a factor??

And that would result in it jumping out of 1st & 3rd mate????

Mine has just started to jump out of 1st and 3rd today, been underneath it and the linkage looks and sounds really loose, would this be the problem???

Excellent choice of venue chaps, bias of course, seeing as I live in Duxford..... Only a 30 second trip for me, I'm also flying out to sunny Spain the next day so what a top way to start the holiday!!!! cheers
