   there are 2 types of shaft, straight, and tapered, as a rule... mk1's have straight, and mk2's have tapered.. unless changed at later date, but during the crossover years then you will have to look to find out, and VTS shafts have the abs rings

   The part that's straight or tapered is that the end that goes in box or hub
   Sorry to be a pain!! Is there any way I can find out weather my box is a vtr or vts
   As my cars been converted to a vts but I'm not sure about box?? Thanks

   the hub end is where you will see the difference, or find the part no. on the gearbox and check it against citroen?

   also you cant really tell what box you have via what shafts you have... best looking at part no
