Hello list,
I am working on a Spit6 conversion (GT6 engine & tranny in Spit), and needed
to have a driveshaft shortened to fit the custom distance between the GT6
tranny output flange, and the Spit rear end flange.
These both have the 4 , 3/8" bolt holes in them. I had $106 worth of work
done on a driveshaft that I THOUGHT fit the flanges on the car. However, I
was very dissappointed to find out that the driveshaft flanges ended up
being 5/16" holes, and the flange diameter slightly smaller, when I went to
assemble. I guess visual comparison was not enough :(
I guess my next step is to try to determine what this driveshaft actually
is. Older spit with the 1100 engine? It has a sliding type length
adjustment on it. I know that Spit & GT6 u-joints are one and the same, so
would I just be able to swap driveshaft flanges? Would the shaft still end
up being the same length (there is very little adjustment)?
Any help GREATLY appreciated!
