Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl drive shaft is the flexible inner shaft that transmits engine power from the clutch to the gear head in compatible handheld machines.

With an overall length of 1440 mm (56.7 inches), it is sized for correct engagement inside the drive tube on specified models, including the Stihl FS 44 and FS 56.
