So this is where we should make the cut? On the drive shaft only of course.

FWIW, just completed this upgrade. Jute91's replacement part had to be turned down a bit. Was used in a 1990 auto IX that was swapped to manual.
BTW, despite coming from the other side of the planet, it arrived lightning fast after payment was sent.
Originally posted by nando View Postit's the same shaft between auto/manual. my car was originally an automatic. I have heard there are two sizes but I'm pretty sure that's early/late, and they are interchangeable anyway. I've had like 5 different shafts and I've never seen the different one.
they aren't, but it's not clear exactly what models came with the thicker shaft. it could just be the manufacturer changed at some point or they used a different material that didn't need as much wall thickness.

Front shaft uppgrade FOR SALE!
Question for all following this thread. When considering the upgrade, I also want to easily remove/install the front driveshaft. I saw the other joint in previous posts, but it was mentioned that it was too big and would hit the trans.
Would something similar to this be able to handle the amount of torque on the shaft?

Also I don't think it's the right diameters, I was thinking the joint type. Or give some ideas to something like a cardian joint.
I really do not want to drop the transfer case or trans fill tube( auto) to swap, regrease, inspect, etc.

The problem with the extra flange joint is the location. But sure there is space near the transfer case.

It may require a little shaping to clear the transmission tunnel.
That fitting is an interesting find... I'll look into that. I'd seen them used before in bolt-in roll cage fabrication, but hadn't though about how much torque they can handle.Last edited by The Dark Side of Will; 01-27-2015, 08:30 AM.
