| Post subject: | Help needed please |
I picked up a range of engines, parts and cars over Easter which I am now regretting a little bit... Luckily I didn't cost me much to purchase them so I'm sure I will be able to off load what I don't need once my Van is on the road... The moving and storage was more of a headache.. There was a yellow 998 engine prefix 9YA that has a strange drive shaft coming off the gearbox. Can you help me identify what it is?? My only mini experience is the Mini K van I am restoring which has a magic wand so it's a little different to start with.. |

That is called a "Pot Joint". Used on the Leyland Minis. The gearbox is a rod change. |

A Mini K should not have a "magic wand" gear shift as far as I know? Should be a remote gearbox with a short gear stick? |

Mini K Van would have a 4 sync "pudding stirrer", which uses the same diff housing as the remote but has a long gear lever Pictures here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=76578 |

A Mini K poverty pack would also have a pudding stirrer. |

That explains it, thanks. My van is definitely the pov pack, very basic but it adds to the charm. |

You can use the pot joints instead of the rubber unis. Less breakages and cheaper bits. Not sure what exact bits you need though. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk |

Did all clubmans have them? |

Only later ones. Definitely a better joint. I'll be swapping when I get around to pulling the motor Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk |

"Clubmans" had rubber uni-loints & 4-sync extension housing (remote) shifters,,, "Leyland minis" (Later clubman "SHAPE" minis) all had pot joints with rod-change gearboxes 1973-1974 was a bit of a hodge-podge , cross-over between the 2 types, they could have any combination really "plus" the poverty pack minis were the cheaper version, often having earlier stuff,,, & then there`s the last 40 plus years of other people swapping stuff around as they play with them  just saying

Yeah its all over the place. Mine is a povo same as most early vans. But the rubber unis are just a bust waiting to happen. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk |
