My driveshaft was slipping on Monday and yesterday it went. I recovered my car and had a look today. I already bought another shaft expecting it to be that. However its slipping inside the gearbox; Can we just confirm that it is f****d?
Also I was told the gear ratio's in 1.4's are shorter for some reason, can someone confirm this too?

This a common problem with the MA box as the crown wheel is simply an interference fit. When the cars have done a fair milage or been rallied about the crown wheen breaks off its normal location.
Two options
1. Bin the box and get another
2. Get a machine shop to open the box and pin the crown wheel in place (i have had this done and it work 100% now)

so do you mean the crown wheel fall off from the differential?
can't believe that could happen  hard to believe it can break through 8 bolts

Thanks for the info. If I stick my finger in the box I can feel something in the way but there is still a gap to get my finger down the box. I am better off with another box as its on nearly 110k. I can get a 58 plate box for £150 but I am just wondering about the 1.4 boxes. If its a bit shorter then that would be better. Can't find the info on service box though.

Think it's a 1.1 but not 100% without looking.
