I have had a 1974 Capri for about two years now, i really like the car.
The only problem is that it really likes emptiing my wallet!! I bought the
car for about $1000 and have already put $1500 into it to keep it on the
road. I have encountered tons of mechanical problems.
One of the most bothersome is the drive shaft. Since i bought the car,
i have already put in three drive shafts. The shafts just keep breaking
at the universal joints. The shaft is a two piece unit that is not
servicable. So each time the shaft broke i had to go to the junkyard
to find another.
As you may guess i am quit sick of this! Is there anyone who might know
of a suitable replacment for the Capri's shaft that a little more durable?
My Capri has the Borg-Warner
automatic transmision (i mention this because the splines that go to the
shaft are bigger than those on the standard shift Capri's.)
Thanks in advance
