It’s kind of a pain to install and for me the ring that goes on one end didn’t work because the groove wasn’t deep enough in this switch out so I just didn’t use it and so far it seems like everything is all good. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for an older machine *by S***E on March 30, 2021* Works great. Easy install. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by J***L on March 27, 2016* now can drive in two wheel drive --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/24997946-wide-open-ds5000-drive-shaft-switch-out-for-honda-trx500](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/24997946-wide-open-ds5000-drive-shaft-switch-out-for-honda-trx500) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
