Insight transmission

... needs:

• left shaft
• center shaft (behind engine)
• right shaft (from center shaft to hub)

The center and right may be able to be combined on the G1 Insight, since the right hand diff output is CLOSER to the wheel hub in the ZE1 than usual, and certainly closer than on the G3 Insight.

e.g. RockAuto

• 27 splines inboard female
• 28 splines outboard male

Left shaft

RockAuto

• 29 splines inboard male
• 28 splines outboard male

Right shaft

Probably use a ?(inner teeth) x ?(barrel diameter) x 29 inner CV joint, like https://www.ebay.com/itm/196044120682

Teardown threads

• Stock passenger's G1 Insight axle disassembly by Robot Cantina

  https://youtu.be/G7iTT-RFfo0?t=295: GSP replacements can't be disasssembled; OEM ones can be.

• matt2001's complete teardown: https://www.insightcentral.net/threads/cleaning-the-crud-from-my-cv-joints-what-to-use.128585/?post_id=1488896#post-1488896

  No measurements, but GREAT visuals for how the outer joint works -- like a stake into a spider of sorts.

  

• Scott's inner joint rebuild thread: https://www.insightcentral.net/threads/inner-axle-joint.131085/

  Demonstrates that only the inner joint lacks a circlip.

• OEM Service manual:

  

  Provides only instructions, no scale.

  Mildly useful, less so than then
