New set has arrived! Front shaft uppgrade *Finland-Fix*
Other question...How difficult is removing the transfer case? Anyone have any methods that make it easier? I'm going to be doing this in December here in Canada...

Reason: Figured it out...I think.
BTW dont throw the output gear with worn splines into trash.. just machine the stock touching area off and use this uppgrade. This uppgrade still remains ~33mm of touching. Going to show in pics to you what I mean in couple days.
it'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.
Yes the difference is that I made mine for the 30mm pipe. so the dimension should be around 30,03mm /1,182".
The smaller one has dimension of 26,924/ 1,06"
But thank god it's easier to remove the material than add on it :D
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 flange I showed earlier in this thread would be fine with a manual transmission. It only lacks clearance to the automatic.
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.
neat part but I don't think that would work well in a twisting situation. you'd want to make something more like a regular driveshaft flange.
The bolts end up loaded directly in tension... it might actually be quite strong, as long as the bolts are torqued properly, which can be hit or miss with socket caps.
