I need a CV shaft for the TGP but...

[GOT2B GM]

...nobody has parts listings for the TGP here in Canada. Are the CV shafts TGP specific? If not, what other vehicle uses the same axle so they can order it?

 

I was thinking a 90 Grand Prix 3.1 w. ABS, 4 spd auto, pass. side.

 

OR a 91 Grand Prix GTP w. ABS, 4 spd auto, pass. side.

 

Will either of these be an exact replacement for what I have now?

 

Thanks

i don't think there is anything special about the TGP axles.

I got some from NAPA for a 90 GP 3.1 auto, abs and they work fine. The ones I initially bought from Canadian Tire were for a 92+ 4T60E which are shorter shafts.

Its a '90 GP, 3.1, 4 speed, with ABS. Externally a 440t4 is a 440t4, the axles are all the same.

matt what happenned???

 

and just on a side note...

 

if he was going to replace the driver side, are they different.....like the passenger side one is between 1988-1990, an like the 1992 ones??

The inner boot tore open, and I didn't notice till it was too late and the bearings got shit in them. As a result, I had a really bad vibration while turning and accelerating at the same time, but its all fixed now. The pass side axle is the same between 89-91, because 88 didn't have ABS. 92+ is shorter for some reason.

92+ ???

well the axles for the electronic trans cars are different that those with the 4t60/440t4

before you factor in the whether they are ABS or not...

91-93 all and +94 Lumina axles for the 4t60E (includes the 3.4 and all)

so 88-92 i believe are the same. but check before you buy

 

also, I think the abs axle will fit in place of the non-abs axle actually...

If you're still looking for one, there is one on ebay right now.

I fixed it the same day as my last post in this thread. Had to goto Napa instead of Canadian Tire. Its been working great since!

I thought TGP axles where hardened and stronger?!

We've no proof. Besides kuntzie breaking numerous axles besides of his ride height, I don't think anyone's broken axles besides that, due to power issues or anything. I wouldn't worry about it.
