Need quick info driveshaft re and re

[Mr. Burns]

I'm about to place an order and her my driveshaft redone this week.

I need to order a new guibo but I'm not certain what else to order.
New csb? And csb for my car which is a 1990 e30 325.

So just large guibo for e28 front half and csb for rear half.

Csb for e28 ds or e30?

Sorry if confusing I'm rushed lol

[Mr. Burns]

to clarify:

which CSB do I need if I'm using a e28 535 front half driveshaft?

[Andy.B]

So you are running an m30/g260 with an e28 (large guibo) front half and e30 rear half?

While the guibo depends on the transmission/driveshaft (large guibo for 535i parts), the CSB depends on the chassis, so order the correct CSB for your e30's production date.

The new CSB is usually included with the rebuild, as it is installed prior to assembling and balancing the driveshaft.

exactly that.

that's the info I was seeking thanks!

I used driveshaftspecialists.com for the shaft for my m30 swap. Since I had a G265, I needed a shortened shaft fab'd up. They gave me forms to submit for all of the measurements, dimensions, and production dates to make sure I got the correct assembly, and it all went flawlessly.

A shortened, rebuilt shaft with a new CSB shipped to my door, with a label for return shipping for the core included, came to $520, which is a pretty good price if you can't find anyone local to you to service the shaft.

[Mr. Burns]

Thanks again Andy

I'm just using a getrag 260 tranny from a euro E32 I found in a PnP.

everything should line up properly, I don't foresee any cutting necessary.
picked up my E30 CSB and my e34 535 guibo.

dropping off driveshaft and parts at the shop tomorrow for a re-balance, they'll throw on the CSB while at it. (quoted at $120)

I honestly just have to wait for the snow to melt and essentially just put this puzzle together like a large lego challenge.

almost done!
