drive shaft upgrade

I just bought one and it's in the mail . Joe

[downforce22]

how far does this extend the splines into the diff?

drive shafts

If your car is worth keeping on the road ,Read from the start about why this is needed. If you want to wait for the failure of the front splines,than you might have waited too long. Again read up about the weak link in the Ix cars. Joe

[jute91]

there is about 60mm long splines in transfer case and with this mod you'll have 51mm long splines in shaft. its way more better than 18mm long touching area in factory one. also this one has grease plug to make maintenance easier

[imwhyteyo]

im ready to buy one before theyre all gone, and you decide to stop making them. my shaft is fine for now, but i know in the future this is something i will be kicking myself not to have bought. im just curious about being able to use them with the thicker flexdisc "upgrade"... is it at all possible to still use these features..?

[jute91]

Yes it is possible. you just make your driveshaft different lenght than it should be then

I got the drive shaft part yeaterday. Question, Does the shaft you sent need to recut/sized to fit into the old drive shaft cutoff end ? what is the material you machined down called ,rockwell value ?? All looks good , Thanks , Joe

I cutted old shaft head off and made shoulder to new one so it suppose to be pressed into pipe. i measured my pipe inner diameter and made new shaft 0.05-0.1mm bigger so it will stay on same position. shoulder is suppose to support while welding it.
Material is Imacro M and its made by Ovako steel.
Its allready quenched and tempered but its still weldable better than T4140. preheating is not so nessessery. I think i posted its hardess and welding equipment to the thread

Latest update

welded front drive shaft together










Should work well

[TehRaydarlover]

Are these still FS?

Nice welding.
The splines are full depth, right? They go into the sprocket and engage all of the sprocket's splines.

Can you make a part with just a flange instead of the driveshaft?

Also, instead of the center being drilled for grease delivery, can you drill and tap for a 12mm bolt from the end?

Would you be willing to sell me just the part you made, without a driveshaft?

You should have read this thread before speaking. the part IS just the "flange" WITHOUT the driveshaft just like your asking. also if your considering using a 12mm bolt to have adapted this to your driveshaft so you can avoid having to weld it.., well.. thats just plain idiotic.. that little thing will snap under the slightest circumstance, or will unthread itself while driving in reverse.. as said.. its best to read things throughly before jumping the gun on your questions.

You should have looked up the definition of flange before you responded

Quoting for full retard.

He obviously wants to weld flanges to the shaft end and the old driveshaft to avoid welding, definitely not because he'd like to be able to remove the driveshaft without dropping the tcase or front diff.

But yes, he just sells the splined end, not the whole shaft.

Thanks.
I'm looking at a 24V swap using the E53 X5 oil pan and front diff. That setup moves the diff some amount (3-4" at a guess) to the left relative to the E30 oil pan. I'll need to build a u-jointed driveshaft, which means I'll need a fixed output flange at the T-case.
