ok guy, i am in need of a drive shaft. did my t-5 upgrade this weekend and come to find out the jack A$$ i bought the car from had put a long tail shaft AOD in the car and had the original driveshaft cut like 2 and a half inches so needless to say it works but doent go all the way in like it should. i thought one that i pulled out of a rusted out t/c with an auto would work buth that one is too short to. any help will be greatly appreciated:mad:
I have a spare shaft but how would I get it to you from Kansas?
My guess would be ups but i dont know how much to ship it to 32266 zip code. my other question is that i know where a 5 speed turbo coupe is that is also rotted out so would that drive shaft be the same?
it would be worth a try, from what I remember they are the same... all I have done is 2.3t auto to 5.0 auto and I needed a shaft from a V8 car.
Yeah i thinj the autos they used in the 4cyl turbo cars longer so their shafts were shorter
actually I think the TC Auto had a longer shaft. cant remember right off hand but I have both in the garage.
I used two long square boxes (to make a really long box) from the UPS store to mail my driveshaft to Oklahoma City to have it shortened. Granted,mine was aluminum,but it only cost me $23.00 to ship it.
I think it will work fine.
ok thanks for the help guys. i pulled the shaft out of the 5 speed turbo coupe and it was the right length.
awesome!! I really didnt want to try to ship a shaft!
:giggle::punchballs:
thats funny and it doesn't even suggest anything:rollin:
If that one doesn't work let me know...I had mine balanced with new joints installed and painted black about 2500miles ago...and since I parted my 'Bird, I have it in a shipping tube waiting to go.
Good luck,
Don
