hi everyone, how are ya? quick bit...i had some rattling issue with my long shaft, was wondering if 800 to refurbish and re-balanced the shaft is reasonable. thanks for ur time. ciao~

No idea on whether it's reasonable, but I'm curious where you are doing this?

Last time I had a similar vibration problem due to the long shaft and had no idea where to do rebuild/rebalance. Ended up finding another used unit to replace.

RM800 is expensive...but if it includes the flex disc, center bearing, 2 new yokes, nylon bush and balancing including labour, sounds resonable...

i think it includes the nylon bush, new yokes and the balancing but not too sure about the flex disc or the center bearing. im doing this in a workshop near metrobus usj. i just had to do it coz im afraid of damaging anything else. how much didchu get ur used shaft evilnickwong?

quick update..total bill is about 1000 ringgit inclusive of labour. i had to change the center bearing as well so it adds up to the total. sucks but no more vibrations!

wow RM1000 sound very expensive
recently i'm changing my gatreg240 to getrag 260 from 325i
but i found that my long shaft is too long because G260 is longer thn G240
so i trying to source the suitable long shaft(maybe need to mod mine)
but i able to get the used long shaft which is in good condition around RM600

My old mechanic was nice and traded my longshaft with the one from his own e30 m40. He charged me rm400 or something maybe. Can't remember, it was quite some time ago.
