Thread: D1 doughnut/ coupling- what year ?

Could always just buy a new one?

Just the updates had rubbers, any shaft will fit, includeing from LT95

Keeping in mind, you need to change the pinion yolk, to accomodate for the differing flange

Strangely, some of the V8 1998/ 99 (WA chassis number )D1's I have seen have the unijoint fitted I have 3 that I work on like that.. As soon as D2 (XA chassis number) came along, all went back to the donut coupling . All the others seem to have the donut, updates only of course.

As matt said, just replace it, unless you have a big lift. They only last on average about 6 to 8 years or about 100K.

There is a good write up on Discoweb about changing the yoke over.

Here's the link, but it's not working for me: http://www.discoweb.org/rotoconversion/index.htm

I may have a second hand one if you are interested pm me

The donut on my D1 was getting changed too often after the lift so I changed over to the uni when the rear diff locker went in.
