Trans Output Flange Swap

The guibo was stretched a bit and I thought it would work itself out but it didn't. I moved the engine to the rear position and the driveshaft no longer fits. I had it shortened and it simply does not work. The pilot bushing bottoms out on the output shaft before the guibo can seat properly, causing it to flex no matter what. The output shaft on a 260/6 is tapered while the 260 is smooth. I thought made mine work by getting a custom guibo made by revshift that is 5mm thicker than a standard one, but it is just bending grade 8 bolts like it is nothing. Going to have to swap big flange back and run an E28 front with the big guibo. Just want to save the headache/money for others.Are Three Vee

You want no flex OR stretch whatsoever on those things otherwise you will chew through them like crazy!
I also just had the large guibo flange welded onto my e30 tailshaft (also had it shortened at the same time) thing fit perfectly.///Monstrosity. (OO≡≡[][]≡≡OO)
Aside from showing yourself to be offensive, lacking experience and ignorant in the ways of business, you're also illiterate and imprudent. Beyond that, your sense of liability is severely impaired.

Old thread but I'll add to it anyway.
I also swaped flanges on my 260/6 and encountered the problem of the larger output shaft interfering with the driveshaft. I solved the problem by simply drilling a hole inside the front half of the stock 325i driveshaft with a 5/8" drill bit to make some room for the output shaft. The guibo now slides easily all the way against the output flange.
