do you have any problems with the shaft coming out of the tranny?

 

no it dont- and i ride locked up all the time and it almost lays frame and no problem

 

u can also hit up black magic hydraulics ron can hook u up.

 

sweet, what might it cost me?

 

what are yall doin about the slip yoke shafts with the ends that just slide into the tranny.. how are yall keeping them from pulling out the tranny

 

hit up big rich he does them to nice work also

 

the drive shaft still moves in & out of the tranny but not as bad as before and with the slip you have enought extra room so it does not fully come out of the tranny-- they run about $100-$150 for the slip and about the same to have someone install it--just dont try and install it yourself because the driveshaft has to be balanced

the black magic ones have a spring on the slip, i seen other peopel drill and tap a screw through the yoke into the tailshaft of the tranny.

With the drop mounts on yours top and bottom the factory driveshaft actually worked all the way up and down with 14" strokes.

 

thats what i was figuring, i dont doubt ya bro ... except that pass side lower drop mount is about 1/2" forward towards the front of the car and the angle of the driveshaft is like this / lol can't win em all. I'm gonna cut it and reweld it back together when I start on the framework....

 

heres mine ron at B.M.H namde the slip and my local shop made it to whatever length i needed...cost around $300 for everything

 

cool.. here's my lockup with jus the uppers adjustable ones... lowers comin soon, and then shaft

 

WE have them here at the shop ,they sell for 200.00 as a complete unit...most drivetrain shops charge between 50 to 75 to install and true them up....
this type of slip unit will give 8.5 to 11 inches of compression on the driveshaft
