  1. Walloth & Nesch has them on sale this week.

    Check their website and look under "weekly offer"

    I have purchased parts for over 10 years from this German provider and am very pleased with their fast shipping, quality products and good customer service

  2. Thanks to this conversation I learned about the UUC swaybar kit.

     

    Ordered the kit yesterday for under $250, seems to me it is a very complete kit. Will compare with the ST frontbar I have on my Targa.

     

    All the best,

  3. Dear 02 Friends,

     

    I am hitting a roadblock with removal of the driveshaft.

     

    Read the blue shop manual and Haynes manual for instructions. All indicate the same. Remove exhaust, remove bolts of guibo, disconnect flange at pinion drive flange at differential, remove two bolts center shaft bearing and ....lower and remove complete shaft. Well not this particular one. 

     

    What I think happens is the internal components for centering the driveshaft (spring, washers, centering ring, ball socket, circlip and sealing cap) are stuck on the pin going through the transmission flange, see photo:

    Got the sealing cap removed and still cannot remove the driveshaft. 

     

    I can push the driveshaft towards the transmission and it gives in a bit, assuming the spring is compressing. When I pull hard towards rear it just releases the spring and feels like it hits an obstruction. I tried leverage with a piece of 2 x 4 between the driveshaft flange and the transmission support and does not comes loose. Tried to rotate driveshaft under different angles and put pressure without any luck.

     

    The driveshaft is completely disconnected, see photo:

    This is an early 1969 2002 with Getrag 232

     

    Any ideas from fellow 02 friends are very much appreciated.

     

    Thank you

  4. Thumbs up for Laurens of EuroClassics. Met with him in Holland last month. Very knowledgable on 2002's and in particular Turbo's. He has purchased and sold more than 20 Turbos in the last four years? I saw the Chamonix Turbo from this link in his shop. Fantastic car. Good luck JP
