As far as I know Stav, yes.

I have an e seires steel unit on my SR, a little heavier.

But, I'm not an expert on these issues. Others will be able to confirm this I'm sure.

Cheers,

GK

They're all made of alloy of some description lol.

The ones with the higher speed rating went into the XR sedans and SWB T Series.

Not sure in any of the LWB vehicles got Alloy tailshafts ... I don't think the XR utes got them ... do to them being longer than the sedan .. and hence the utes having the speed limiter in place as well.

The Pursuit 250 had a 2-piece shaft in though ... and no speed limiter. Although used a different yoke into the diff from memory.

If wanting to go more than the speed limiter ... I suggest a custom tailshaft that can handle it.
