drive shaft

Has any body had a problem with twisting the slip yoke on the drive shaft. I had 2 of them do it to me. Any one know what could cause it to happen.

Re: drive shaft

I have done the same thing, even with a Denny's shaft but with the standard steel 1350 slip yoke. First pass on a hard launch, I twisted them. I upgraded to a billit steel yoke from Denny. You might want to consider upgrading yourself. If your interested, I just pulled my tranny and am upgrading to a Viper spec tranny which means i'll have to buy another yoke. If you decide your gonna upgrade, i'll be putting my current yoke up for sale. Of course its the factory number of splines and doesn't even have more then 5000 miles on it. I've never had a problem with it, even with hard launches at the track with et streets off the bottle. Weather you pick mine up or not, I would consider upgrading if you've already twisted 2.

Re: drive shaft

I paid something like $180 through Denny's. I'd like to get $125 for it. Problem is I'll need to wait till I get my shaft back from denny's. Gotta get my tranny in, then measure, then send the shaft off for the shortening and 30 spline yoke. Then i'll have the old yoke available for sale. So if you need one right away, let me know. If you don't need it right away and your interested, then i'll hold it for you before I Ebay it and you can have dibs on it. Just let me know. Thanks.
