J&R Drivers side Driveshaft

[marcushookdale]

Morning Chaps, Just a quick one , My 182 BG has been in the local garage now for a fwe months, New clutch / two new driveshafts , Passengerside a shaftec and the drivers side j&r shaft, MY question is do i have to grind the little square nobby bit off on the gear box, ?.Due to j&r driveshafts being a bit fecking shite, I am due to pick the clio up next week. I would of bought a shaftec for both sides , but i couldn't find a shaftec for the divers side at the time, But in the next few weeks i'm gonna try and grab one.....Cheers for any info lads.

is it a cup/cup pack?

If so J&r ones don’t fit they are too short

I've had 2 Shaftec ones for the offside of my 172 and both of them have had the inner boot come away from the cup, subsequently spraying grease everywhere

I told them to shove it up their arse and bought a Borg and Beck one for half the price. It's been spot on! I had to grind off the little square casting from the block but other than that the fitment is mint

It's a FF 182.
I'm starting to understand why Renault named the clio FF now..More head f**ks then

The lad at the garage said he's been for a drive in it, So i'm a bit puzzled with the j&r shaft meant to be to short.

Mine were fitted by the previous owner, but I'm quite sure my shafts are J&R on my 182 FF.

Maybe mine was boxed wrong then. it was about 10-15cm shorter, i emailed them with pictures and they just said that's the only one they list
