Drive Shaft Questions???

I called Mark Williams they said they need to know how many splines are in the tail shaft of the tranny. He said it would either be 33 or 27,my guess is 27 since I understand the Vipers tranny is stronger.

Also I am running a Strange 12 bolt and want to verify my measurments are accurate with someone who already has one installed. I have 44.75 inches from the trans seal to the U joint center and 46.75 inches from the trans seal to pinion seal.

He also said that I will need to buy a 1350 series yolk for the tranny side to balance the 1350 that is on the 12 bolt side, is this correct? I only ask cause they want another $185 for it.

I also opted to go for the rear end cover and the stock swaybar won't clear it. Is this normal? Will this affect the handling of the car or is this as useful as the front one which I could not even feel wasn't there.

Thanks......Lys

Re: Drive Shaft Questions???

I don't have all your answers, but some of them:

The f-body T56 has 27 splines.
The cool 1350 yoke is nice, and certainly "matches" in terms of the strength of the other u-joint. Is it necessary? Dunno, but I'd probably spend it.
I have a an aftermarket case aluminum cover on my 12-bolt, and the swaybar clears it fine, so I can't help on that one...
