What driveshafts to use? 4th Gen BB1 with ATR power

Jack · Post by **Jack** » Mon Feb 29, 2016 12:19 am

I'm swapping an H22A7 and U2Q7 box into my BB1, just wondering what shafts I'm going to need? I have my 4th gen H22 shafts although they're not in the best condition, or the shafts from the ATR that the running gear is coming from.

Can I use either? Or do I need to mess around putting ATR inner CVs on the BB1 shafts or anything like that?

Any manual 4th gen VTEC and H23 shafts will fit.

Actually any manual HP4 shafts will fit. All 2.0, 2.3 and 2.2 shafts are the same. Never checked auto.
Compared them plus double-checked part numbers now.

Ive got a set of ATR shafts for sale.
The inner cvs look to be the same as on the lude.

Are the ATR shafts compatible with the Prelude? I'd rather use them of possible (I have a full ATR parts car) as the Prelude shafts were clicking.

I'm gonna be using 5th gen 5 stud hubs if that makes any difference.

ive just had a look at them side by side and drivers side seems to be same and passenger side is approx 5-10mm shorter.
Havent measured intermediate shaft but presume it will be longer than the prelude one.
If you have both atr and prelude ones id compare them - possibly use prelude intermediate shaft and atr shafts either side of that

lets us know

I'll have a look once everything's removed then! Hope I dont need 5th gen shafts as I damaged them during removal from a BB8 donor I had.

5th gen shafts are slightly longer but i think they can still be used on 4th gen - youd have to check

sounds like you have 4th, 5th and atr shafts to choose from

would be good if you could measure them all and share what you find on the forum

from memory you will need shims/washers or is that just for the hub swap??

Sure shims is hub swap but using 4g shafts.
