Thanks Nicklause for your answer.

These complete transmissions have the best price I've seen in the market, but I don't know their quality. Can anyone tell me something about this company? Do you think this is Chinese material or of poor quality?

The transmissions that appear in the photos above are purchased in Uk, but I don't know where. They look very good.

I asked P&Lminis where their Driveshafts are built, but Liz didn't want to tell me. They have a good price too, but I don't know what quality they have.

If you want good then MiniSpares.

 

if you want cheep the J&R they do have an EBay page and their kit is all refurbished in the UK and you will not find cheaper. 
 

I would buy the CVs from 

MiniSpares and rebuild the Assys  myself. 
 

I bet P&L get their CVs from MiniSpares.

Ok Nicklouse. What I'dont want is poor or chinese quality. For that reason, I've asked here.

In general old drive-shafts are fine. All you need do is to buy new CV joints from Mini Spares and a new pair of gaiters and re-build the sub-assembly yourself. Personally I will only buy CV joints from Mini Spares, but if 'cheap' is more important than quality, then there are cheaper ones about (buy cheap, buy twice!).

 

If really arduous use in envisaged, for rallying for example, Mini Spares do a competition drive shaft in stronger steel with the circlip grooves deleted at the drive-shaft end to improve torsional strength. However, they are far from low-cost, as would be expected, and unnecessary for a road car.

Hi friend, I need everything. Complete transmissions, because now I'm using the old ones, and you get in troubles every few months.

I'm going to fit the current ones. But of course, I find a problem mainly. The output shafts of the planetariums are different.

My idea is to cut the thread, make the groove for the 'circlip' and assemble everything.

Has anyone done it here?
