Your vehicle no longer moves even though the engine is running? The front or rear wheels are no longer driven? The central drive shaft is the part that transmits power from the engine to the front and rear wheels. When it breaks, the transmission is cut off and your vehicle becomes immobile, even if the engine works perfectly.
This Central Drive Shaft 16101-6036 is the exact original part installed at the factory on your SCY. It instantly restores the complete transmission, allowing your vehicle to drive normally again.

FAQ: Drivers’ Questions
Expand to see the answers.
How do I know if my drive shaft is broken?
If the engine runs but the wheels don’t turn (or only the front OR rear wheels), the drive shaft is probably broken. Inspect visually: if you see the shaft in two pieces or cracked, it must be replaced immediately.
Does installation require special tools?
No, a simple Phillips screwdriver is enough. You need to partially disassemble the chassis to access the central shaft, remove the old one, install the new one, and reassemble. Allow 15-20 minutes if you are familiar with your vehicle.
Pro tip to extend lifespan
Avoid sudden wheel lock-ups (for example, hitting an obstacle at full speed). These shocks transmit huge torsional stresses to the shaft and can break it instantly. After each session, visually check the shaft: any emerging crack should be addressed before it becomes a complete break.
