When I had mine made they asked me to measure from where the U-Joint would go in the transmission yolk to the face of the rear end . This would be with the yolk pushed into the tailhousing of the transmission as far as it would go and the car at its typical ride height. They generally subtract anywhere from 1/2" to 3/4" from that length and build the DS. This will allow for rear axle movement up and down which will shorten and lengthen the distance from the face on the axle to the transmission. Hopefully that makes sense.DarrenI called them and they said to measure it in the manner I did it...I'm sure each shop has their own way of doing it. Quote Selected

Reply #91 – March 28, 2012, 05:03:57 PM I would just be concerned with how the yolk fits into the tail housing of the tranny but I am no DS expert by any means. Something tells me it will install just fine and hopefully this solves your problem.Darren Quote Selected

I am anxious to get it and see if my vibration is gone. I am also looking forward to driving it with the subframe connectors! Quote Selected
vibration thread - aluminum driveshaft cures it! Reply #94 – April 06, 2012, 09:35:21 PM So I got my new driveshaft. Beautiful piece...slid the yoke onto the trans output shaft and then the worst happened. The darn thing is 2"-3" too long even with the slip yoke bottomed out on the seal on the output of the trans.I followed their measuring technique per their ordering instructions on their website, but something got screwed up somewhere along the line. I guess its going back north on UPS tomorrow. Hopefully they will have it back to me by mid-week. My uncle is needing his garage free. This is very frustrating!! Quote Selected

vibration thread - aluminum driveshaft cures it! Reply #101 – April 14, 2012, 08:52:36 AM Thanks guys. I was very pleased overall. While the car was in the air I fixed quite a few other annoying things. I dropped the trans and split it to put on the correct speedo gear, changed out the CHE adj arms/Steeda springs for non-adj CHE's/TC springs, and welded in the SFC's. I can't believe what a difference this all made in the enjoyment of driving the 'bird! It rides better, is vibration free, and I actually know how fast I'm going now!! This all makes me just that much more excited for Power Tour. Quote Selected
