R33 Tailshaft

[EMZ R33]

hi guys,

just had my car serviced a month or so ago and was adviced that my tailshaft has "play" in it and it is possibly the centre bearing. My mechanic said that it will need to be removed, fixed, rebalanced and pu back on. aprox cost $800, does this sound about right guys???

Opinions / advice / recommendations please!!!!

yes. tailshafts are expensive it's the balancing that many places charge through the nose for especially for a 2 piece shaft (which the standard item is).

that's the walk-in-off-the-street price anyway. if you "know someone" maybe you can get it cheaper but it cost me about that to get mine fixed when i destroyed the centre.

Shop around. I think you should find somewhere cheaper.

Recently had the yoke cut off a 33 tailshaft, welded to my 32 tailshaft, balanced, etc for around $150.

I am lucky in that I get trade price but & also used a proper driveline shop who specialises in tailshafts.

Would suggest you look for a similar specialist...
