M Series driveshafts
Discussion
Not entirely sure, but I believe the Vixens and M series had Triumph 2000 Mk1 shafts, the Mk2 saloon were slightly longer. I've also heard that they might be a mix of TR6 and 2/2.5, as the splines are the same size. As far as I can remember, the Stag shafts were identical to the Mk2 Saloons, and had the same diff and suspension layout.
2.5 PI are identical to 2000 parts (apart from diff ratio)
I think the combinations probably changed depending upon which diff you have, and perhaps what TVR bought that week ....

Hi Mike,
That I know of, NOT the TR6/Stag, although they will fit, you will want as much engagement of the male spline as possible and IAFAIK the stag and TR6 are shorter by 1"plus ...I have lots of TVR ones that I have kept from when I put my drive shafts on cars.

IMHO life the of new drive shafts is 35-40 thousand miles, (considering this was when the car was expected to be in the scrapyard by 75,000)

I would like to say "that's a bit weird, because I had lots of Triumph Saloons that were fine (with new UJs) for well over 100K miles" but would ask instead, is the shorter life to do with its loading in the TVR , or did you just mean the life of the UJs ??Adrian@
And second - if you have a TR6 diff, it's quite a bit wider than a Spit, so does it have same shafts ? I thought that the TR6 diff had the TR6/saloon combination to go with it ??

Hi Jasper, Hope your well,
IF, I wasn't 'coy' then I/it might be misconstrued as advertising, rather than trying to be 'helpful' ...and re the drive shafts, IF you want to extend their life, limit the full droop, by using a shorter shock, which will stop the UJ's from going over their limits and so not having them lock out on the flanges, and then stop the wear of the shafts. I am sure 'Trmph' will of thought all the scenarios through, my thoughts are this called design, where as TVR ...Peter Wheeler comments on design (around the finish of the Griffith in the 90's) was that the then current BMW 5 series glove box had more money spent on it than TVR had spent on ALL it's design since the day the factory was started.
