Description
The Pentair Drive Shaft Kit (360253) is the OEM replacement drive shaft kit for the Pentair Racer and Pentair Racer LS pressure-side pool cleaners.
IMPORTANT: KIT INCLUDES MULTIPLE COMPONENTS
This listing is for a complete Drive Shaft Kit not a single shaft component. Confirm all kit contents against your cleaner’s parts diagram before ordering to ensure you receive the correct assembly for your repair.
The drive shaft transmits power from the cleaner’s drive mechanism to the propulsion system, keeping the Racer moving across the pool floor and walls. When the drive shaft wears or breaks, the cleaner loses forward motion and cleaning coverage. Replacing the complete kit restores full drivetrain function.

Poolaroo Pro Tip
When replacing the drive shaft, inspect the surrounding drive components gears, bearings, and the drive bag for wear at the same time. On pressure-side cleaners like the Racer, drivetrain components tend to wear together. Addressing adjacent wear during the same service call prevents a second teardown shortly after.
