Hi all! Been a while since i've posted. Still plugging away at the EF.
I have been meaning to replace the intermediate shaft for some time due to a sloppy uni joint and my mechanic has finally pulled me up on it during a pink slip inspection. I plan to try and find a decent 2nd hand one but I remember the wreckers telling be there are a few different ones for the EF last time I made enquiries (number of splines to be exact). Is this correct? If so, is there a way of indentifying which model had what type or do I need to bring the shagged one with me? Any help would be muchly appreciated - Ryan.

Does this help at all? I've got the rest of it too if you need the other diagrams.

The number of splines is to do with the end that fits onto the rack's spline....easy to see the difference...one is really a***, the other is really fine......most are a*** spline.

So, which has the corse spline, and which the fine??
Looking at the parts diagram above, both have the same part number, except for the V8's, which I think is the addition of the heat shield |

If it's for an EF 6 cyl, get the same - they are a fine spline, they're also longer than an EL which is a*** spline.

Cheers guys!
Ended up taking the shagged one to the wreckers and got the correct one. The reason why I wanted to know is that I had to pull it apart in the mechanics car park due to time and work restrictions which I felt a bit rude doing... Oh well. Got it done. The only other thing is the damn air bag light wont go off even after trying to reset the stupid thing a million times by earthing the pin (fourth from the left top row).... Thanks again!

Great that you got it done But is it a big job to replace ? as for some reason i believe the uni joint in mine is quite worn |

Lift the bottom off the rack and pull the top away from the firewall, comes out as a complete Shaft + uni. Note: The bolts have to be all the way out as the splines have a groove that the thread of the bolt sits in so they dont come apart if the bolts work loose.
