Is the vx v6 tailshaft the same as the Gen3 tailshaft ?

[comfortss]

Hey guys , i need to replace the centre bearing on my Gen 3 vx , i was told that replacing the whole tailshaft is pretty much the only way it can be done ? wreckers are asking around $250 for a second hand one , was wondering if the v6 ones where the same or not , i kind of figure they wont be but i thought id just ask anyhow just incase im wrong ? .

As above, they're different unfortunately. That's also about the normal asking price for a vx ls1 tailshaft.

I just had mine replaced (the centre bearing), brought this :COMMODORE,VX,VY,STATESMAN,WH,WK,V8,NEW,CENTRE,BEAR ING | eBay
An took it to my mechanic, who had never taken one apart before, $150 plus a coulpe of hours later all done an has been running fine for the last 1000km or so. Alot cheeper than buying a whole new tailshaft like holden want you to do.
