email enjuku and send them your pic. Ppls on the forum may not have a driveshaft laying around to compare it to.

i got the spline going into the tranny and a crappy web cam if u wanted me to take a picture of the end i dunno how clear it'll be.

hook it up man at least i can count the splines then

tiki240 · 10-07-2003, 11:25 AM

lol i just happened to change my driveshaft last night and the splines look like they are pretty much the same.... dunno what the problem is. hope u figure it out

camra isn't working, but it has the same groves same locations so i assume its the same size as u have, have u tried spinning it and pushing/pulling to get it to slide in? maby put it in gear maybe its grabbing a tooth not allowing you u slide it in right. I know when i put it in gotta keep roating it while its in gear "makes it easier". Good luck putting it in

hey head, when you get it all figured out let us know, I'd love to hear how you like it. I got an aluminum driveshaft for my old mustang and it made a hell of a difference - a lot smoother and a bit more twist at the wheels. Good luck and please give a review when she's finished

the head · 10-07-2003, 10:31 PM

I run a chromoly driveshaft in my old mustang and it helped signifigantly i hope the alum will show an improvement as well
enjuku said ther was a shield or collar i need to remove to make the thing fit i am going to try it tomorrow night

Andy5 · 10-07-2003, 10:40 PM

are they referring to the round rubber doughnut thing that has bearings in it? I think its a support? Would like to know how you fix it i might be interested 1 day in changing to a lighten D.S.

the head · 10-07-2003, 10:46 PM

no that is the rear seal this is somthing else i ill post it when i figure the fxxin thing out

SiDeWaYs S150sx · 10-08-2003, 11:20 AM

you might have to take off the dust collar around the end of the tranny where the spline connects, or trimit or sumthin, maybe that's wut they meant.

the head · 10-08-2003, 12:31 PM

they said to remove it so i am gonna hit it with a fuxxin hammer and see if it comes off

the head · 10-09-2003, 01:18 AM

the dust collar is removed and the driveshaft is in if you can remove the dust collar without the trans on the car we lost a tool inside and had to remove the tailhaft housing to get the damn thing out the car finally has a full driveline under it now

So are you gonna leave us in suspense or what? How does the thing feel? Have you driven it yet or is it a project car?

Fibercus · 10-09-2003, 11:24 AM

Darn, was just about to say I got both an Auto and Manual driveshafts laying around in my garage

the head · 10-09-2003, 12:28 PM
