Mini Drive Shaft Coupling Kit GCD101

Mini Drive Shaft Coupling Kit   GCD101 

Mini driveshaft coupling kit.

 Rubber U-joint for yoke-type driveshafts. These are the only new supply available except for QL5000  alternative .

The very early Minis used the rubber U-joint drive couplings to eliminate harshness being transmitted to the passenger compartment. Over the years the rubber will separate from the metal sleeves and allow the driveshaft to rotate out of concentricity. Not only can this cause vibration, but it can also allow it to hit either the tranny case or, more often, the exhaust pipe. These are standard replacements 108mm wide with u bolts and nuts for one side only.

This type of drive coupling was used on the Mini from 1959-1976.

Mini Cooper S and automatic models prior to 1976 used the Hardy Spicer drive coupling 27H7880.

From 1976 onwards the Mini used the pot joint drive coupling ADU4378.
