MMP M62B44 Build Project "Jack-N-Coke"

[Tjabo]

Crossing that damn thing off the list (Revshift guibo)... I thought the concept of it seemed a little funky already.

[Old city bimmer]

damn...that really can screw up a nice drive.

It looks like the center sleeves were not large enough in diameter to have a wide enough region of metal to metal contact for the full circumference of the holes in the driveshaft flange.

If there was the appropriate amount of metal-to-metal contact, then that guibo should not have been any more prone to that failure mode than the stock guibo.

It looks to me that it's not the formulation of the urethane, it's the size of the steel center sleeves used.

You didn't overtorque the bolts, did you?

I was using a eta drive shaft with a 24v swap guibo
This was the most skechey part of my hold build and only thing that I bolted on with out building myself on this whole build. I took it for granted that someone else did there job.. I found my weak link an blew it up....

live and learn..

I think I'll take a page from the LS/5.0 guys an build a single drive shaft with dual u joints?

Wouldn't that mean you have to drop the rear to get the driveshaft out?

Or are you thinking of making some sort of adapter to ujoints

[JGood]

Why not just get an e36 m3/328i driveshaft? That's what I used for 10k miles before swapping to the 6 speed. Even with the 6 speed, I'm using a stock e30 shaft with a 540i flange welded on. 15k miles on that and counting, full of drag strip launches on 235's and more burnouts, clutch drops, power shifts, and other terrible things then I could count. They're plenty strong enough.

Yea maybe I'll go to the yard this weekend and look for a 328 driveshaft

I was just under the new 2015 Mustang and noticed that their using the same rubber guibo
wth?

Many MFGR's with 2 piece drive shafts have Giubo's.

I'd just lay down the cash and get the @Garagistic shaft, and be able to get the right flanges so you don't have to use the adapter guibos....

Says the guy who hasn't even run this part to know if it works well.



There are some very good reasons to stick with a two piece shaft as bmw used.

Hey slappy, how many pieces do you see here:

There appears to be slightly more than one piece, although my comment was mainly directed at monkey's potential desire for a one piece shaft.

[MonkeyMadness]

I have a 328i auto drive shaft local think that would work?
Garagetastic stuff is good but I prefer to do it myself, I had hoped my thread reflected that :)

Auto no worky
