gearbox change

Forum: 

i have just changed the gearbox in my charade 1.6. all was going well.
it went in it selects gears fine. but the drive shafts from the car wont fit the gearbox i have just fitted. i have the gearbox numbers if anyone is able to tell me what driveshafts i need.
the only thing is if i change these driveshafts to fit the gearbox will the driveshafts then be different for the hub and cv joint.
really could do with some help on this one as its sat at a mates garage.

many thanks in advance...
