<p>David,</p>
<p>I didn't realize there was a shaft connection with a woodruff
key, but I see it now in the parts book diagram. I would guess
that the nut on the drive flange got loose and allowed the key to
shear. If the tapered surface on the shaft and in the flange are
not damaged, then you may be able to find the crescent shaped slot
for the key in the taper and knock out what's left of the key.
Then you would only need a new key.</p>

<div> I probably won't get pictures of the damage until the
weekend but will get them off to you on Monday. At least the
east coast isn't the UK!</div>

I'm looking for the front driveshaft for a P5 3L. The
locating key <br>
has gone missing and the slot it goes into seems to have gone
missing <br>
too! Not really sure what happened but without the key
(woodruff <br>
key?) the two halves of the shaft do not turn together
anymore!<br>

Thank you,<br>
