Check out my shaft…

Assuming cheap ass shaft prev fitted, new one is solid.

Looks like the weld has been failed for a while going off the rusty crack.

Just approaching redline in 2nd gear finished it off (the day before my booked track day). Lucky it wasn’t on track I guess!

Yeah that's a proper cheap s**t and nasty shaft

Just a bit!

Car feels a lot smoother with the new shaft, which makes me wonder how long that crack had been progressing and it must have been out of shape causing it to vibrate when accelerating.
