02J311205M Volkswagen OUTPUT SHA

Basically, it’s the final piece in your gearbox that actually delivers the power to the wheels. It spins, and that spinning motion is what gets your car moving. It takes the rotational force from the gears inside the transmission and transfers it out to whatever drives your wheels – whether that’s axles, a driveshaft, or something else. It’s a pretty simple part conceptually, but it’s built to withstand a lot. Think of it like the last link in a chain. All that engine power goes through the transmission, gets geared down or up, and then the output shaft is what physically spins to make the wheels turn. It’s directly connected to the differential, which splits the power to each wheel. It's a critical component of the drivetrain. Well, if this thing goes bad, you’re not going anywhere. You’ll notice if it fails pretty quickly – usually a complete loss of power to the wheels, or really severe vibrations. It’s under a lot of stress, dealing with all that torque, so it needs to be strong. It almost acts like a shield, protecting the rest of the drivetrain from excessive force. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and the quality really matters here. You want something durable that's going to hold up to the demands of driving. Replacing a damaged output shaft gets you back on the road, but using a quality one prevents premature failure and saves you trouble down the line. We’ve got you covered: Output Shaft (MPN 02J311205M) includes a 12-month warranty!
