If you take a close look at the weld fracture line, you can maybe see the original position?

New shafts are not expensive, but will mean a gearbox-out.

Hi Cameron,

not sure if possible under the car, but if you can remove most of the old weld to make a (kind of) weld preparation, the repair will be better.

Question is why the weld broke in the first place.

Can you make a picture?

Several possible causes.

Cheers,

Waldi

Hi Cameron,

Looks like it has been weld-repaired before.

I agree with Mike and Andy, best to pull the gb out.

I would not attempt to weld it, a new shaft with welded fork is sheap, think I had mine from Moss, and it was good.

At the same time, you can check/replace the tapered pin in the fork and reinforce with an additional roll pin or similar, as this is a weak point too.

Regards,

Waldi
