Hi all,
I was under the impresion on drive shaft length was the same between auto and sticks, I was running a 65 m-20 see below,
I found out a expensive one today, on the way home from the exhaust shop
doing about 65 mph let off the gas and bam the new 3 1/2 DIA shaft I had built on Monday came out at the rear end, in my impatience and going at hundred miles a hour for the past 6 weeks I never noticed it was missing the inner clips to hold it in place (the shop had installed Ford style u-joints), when I got her home I found the drive shaft had been impaled into the rear of my trans after removal, I noticed it was bent, and after that came to notice I could not get the trans into neutral
well the short the shaft broke one of the ears off the trans not sure the rest of the damage but needless to say it has been a trying day as they say at out greatest triumphs comes our greatest agony
yeah if you got a drive shaft about 58.5 long center of u-joint to u-joint let me know what you would want for it as it will be a few months at the earliest it goes back together
You make be right on the fingers of the pressure plate, but the longer linkage seemed to work fine although, it has a different feel than the 4 door small block car I got off Brian
thanks for the info will send some photos of my month long ordeal
Jim
