The shaft is driven off the camshaft. Assuming the engine runs the camshaft is turning. The shaft is connected to the camshaft through an Oldham coupling of Perfo engines and a splined coupling on 11D engines.

I would imagine the change was made to avoid this happening – so is yours a Perfo engine?

This link goes to Jose Franssen’s page which shows how this goes together:

Either the coupling itself has broken or the dog has snapped off one of the shafts – hopefully not the camshaft.
