bigscaht Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 my driveshaft I sat the shop getting ready for the gear vendors and the shop called me and asked would a 2.5" shaft fit because since I have to use a 1350 joint... they don't make one to fit out 2.25" shaft. instinctively I said it should fit but I really don't know?? and another question for any one else who has installed a gearvendors unit.....what was you drive shaft length if you ran a th350???

502ci Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I have a TH400 and a gear vendors so the length won't help you I imagine but I am running a 3 1/2" diameter driveshaft. I also have the 1350 series u-joints...not sure how heavy duty you want to make your drivetrain but I used nongreasable u-joints which means there is no drilled hole for the fitting which then in turn means you have a stronger u-joint.

FASTSS454 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I am running a 3 inch driveshaft from Strange Engineering with a American Thunder dual exhaust with no clearance issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigscaht Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 ahhh that's good to hear....so I should have no clearance issues.... I wan tmy drive train to be as heavy duty as possible so I don't have to mess with it again down the road..never thought about non greasable u joints....are those good for daily driving? picking up mine today.....so I can finish the GV install and hopefully test tomarrow or Wednesday.....

Are you going to be driving it 5 to 7 days a week? I am not sure if it would be okay as I have not driven my car that much...but I will say I installed the u-joints roughly 14 years ago and they are fine.

FASTSS454 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 The OEM joints were greaseless and lasted a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
