Mazda RX-7 Driveshaft

The Mazda RX-7 Driveshaft transfers spinning power from the small rotary engine to the rear differential with the gearbox and axle swinging freely over bumps and during acceleration. Constructed as a heavy but lightweight tube of steel, it conveys torque and rotation and opposes the torsion and shear forces that are caused by the incongruity between engine output and load on the road, a feature that has made throttle response sharp in Mazda performance machines. Angular change is permitted at each end by universal joints, and certain factory shafts provide a splined or prismatic intermediate to permit the length of the shaft to slide along with suspension geometry changes. Two dominant styles were presented over generations, one with cross-type universal joints alone for direct power transfer; the other with a rag or jaw connection that takes up the shock loads on hard launches. The distinction between them is in the balance between vibration control and uncompromising rigidity. The strength needed in this Driveshaft is sufficient to prevent twisting but not so great as to add inertia to the car, so Mazda knows how to reduce wall thickness and diameter to reduce weight without removing its rev-happy nature. The propeller shaft in each RX-7 has to support a continuous flow of power by permitting relative movement, and the Driveshaft becomes the invisible but very necessary connection that assists Mazda in providing that lively rear-wheel driving experience enthusiasts demand.

Mazda RX-7 Driveshaft Parts and Q&A

  • Q: How can a home mechanic properly test the driveshaft, and what are the acceptable limits for run-out and dynamic unbalance on Mazda RX-7?
    A:
    It is somewhat difficult for the home mechanic to make the proper tests of the driveshaft due to the necessity for special measuring devices and machinery, so it would be advisable to take the shaft to a competent machine shop or Mazda dealer equipped to make these checks. The run-out of the driveshaft is checked by placing the shaft in V-blocks and attaching a dial indicator so that its point just touches the shaft surface; the shaft is then slowly turned and the run-out duly recorded on the dial indicator, and if it exceeds the limit, the entire driveshaft should be replaced. Additionally, the driveshaft can be checked for dynamic unbalance using special machinery that spins the shaft at varying rpm; if it does not meet these specifications, the driveshaft should be properly balanced or replaced as an assembly.
  • Q: How to properly remove and install a driveshaft on Mazda RX-7?
    A:
    Lift the back of the car and stand it squarely on jack stands or put the vehicle on a ramp to gain access beneath and leave the front wheels chocked so that the car will not move. To achieve appropriate driveshaft balance, crossmark all mating surfaces on the back of the driveshaft, the driveshaft, universal joint parts and the axle flange before removal. Take out the four bolts that hold the driveshaft to the rear end pinion flange, with a large screwdriver in the rear flange so that the shaft does not turn during the process of loosening the bolts. Reduce the bottom of the shaft and slide it backwards until the transmission is out of the shaft, then pull the shaft assembly out underneath the car. To install, reverse the process, making sure that the alignment marks on the two surfaces are aligned, and then tighten the four bolts.
