[Fot] TR Drive Shaft

[VANDECARR at aol.com]

An aluminum driveshaft is a good idea but I don't think it's a good idea to 
have it fixed length.   If you have solid engine and diff mounts and no flexing 
of the frame it would work if your alignment is perfect.   Otherwise you are 
putting lots of stress on the driveshaft and the possible binding will negate 
any performance increases.   They situation might be different if you used CV 
joints not U joints.   I had Inland driveshafts (www.iedls.com/driveshafts
.html)  make an aluminum driveshaft for my TR6 V8 conversion.   They did a great 
job and the price was reasonable.   It's a fixed length driveshaft but the T5 
trans uses a splined yoke.
