1.2 8v, 1.4 8v

The transmission is the type with wheel side constant velocity joints and gearbox side three lobe joints.

The right driveshaft has a hot-fitted vibration damper mass which cannot therefore be replaced in a service situation.

1.3 Multijet, 1.9 Multijet

The transmission is the type with wheel side constant velocity joints and gearbox side three lobe joints.

An intermediate driveshaft transmits drive to the right driveshaft, which is the same as the left.

This solution allows drive torque to be distributed in perfectly symmetrical manner over both wheels.

In this way the curving of the longer driveshaft, through bending, due to the drive torque transmitted, which could cause vibrations to the dynamic geometry of the vehicle, is avoided.
