Intermediate shaft

[NicholasJackson]

Im slowly starting to gather parts for my g series transmission to one day hook up to a bp. And i need some details on the intermediate shaft, or as its called over here lay shaft.

Whats the dimension of this shaft i should be looking for?

Are there different sizes?

How many teeth are there on the inputs? 22?

I think that's about it at this moment. They are really cheap over here like 30-40 dollars.

Im also picking up another free f series! Had some pretty good luck lately.

Thanks in advanced.

26 splines it can be sourced from a 1991-1994 mercury Capri xr2 or a 88-89 Mazda 323 gt fwd. Only. They can not be purchased new and are best likely sourced from someone selling it in the classifieds section or a pick n pull. The escort gt/ protege lx is different and will not work for the swap.

pick and pulls would be nice in australia. HA.

Thanks that should be enough to get me started. Things are a little different over here, we have the 91-94 ford capri xr2 which is the same, but the 88-89 323 are pretty much non existent. I know they came out of some AU ford lasers, but im not sure if they are the same setup as the escort gt.

I think it's safe to say any factory FWD B6T cars has the int. shaft you want, I only work it that way since in north america, the only fwd b6t cars were the Capri xr2 and 323 gt

Sweet that makes sense, a lot of guys on the fordlaser forum are running b6t.

Cheers chris.
