What mods if any are possible to gain a few extra degrees out of a 1310 cv shaft - I have two OEM shafts for a XJ and wanted to get some more angularity with out much $$$

The shaft will bind at full droop and was thinking if there were any tricks to clearencing the h-block or ball center area I could do at my end or would it be feasable to just get a high angle h-block and t-case yoke (in other words is the d-shaft yoke much different than the high angle d-shaft yoke) Will the entire CV head need to be replaced or can it be done piece-meal

Any takers :D

I am about to build a 3-link for the front and would like to get a few more degrees to work with...

Not a starving student but close :flipoff2:

Just climb under with the die grinder and open it up where it hits.

Thats just it - I have screwed arount with it in and out of the jeep and as best I can tell it is hitting somewhere inside the h-block the end yokes still have some room before they would be binding???
:confused:

I talked to Jess about the same thing and with the 1310 your stuck at 32 degree's...his best thought was to go 1350 and sell the 10's.....

actually 34 -35 is achieve-able on 1310 - but you have to match the t-case yoke to get it- and on 1310 you have to dissassemble it and narrow up the wabler and also clearance the center of the h- not the edges- so it can rotate and not get hung on the casting lines- 289.00 and your there if you want mine- :D Jess

ill let you knwo hwo it comes out. he he!

Pardon my ignorance but what is the Wabler and how does it relate to the function of the joint....

Any chance of getting just a h-block from you or would it be cheaper in the long run to just do a new shaft; thanks

Matt:confused:

i cleaned up the casting alittle on mine to get a few more degrees, but it's the ball that limits the maximum angle and i see no way to modify that............
i also can max my CV out, so to keep from breaking it i put a attached a limiting strap to the top of my differential to limit drop. it really don't limit the left/right articulation much at all.
there's acouple pics here http://www.geocities.com/yj3qtr_ton/limitingstrap.html

3/4tonYJ,

What anlge does your rear shaft sit at?

my 1310 CV sits at 26* after my drivetrain swap. too much?

sorry about the tech terms or slang there - the wabler is the piece inside the c/v that has the needle bearings inside - that rotates on the pin- and if you use a 2" tube 1310 c/v max angle in normal c/v geometry is 34-36 degree's depending on castings- there's a company unnamed for security reasons - :D - that offers 4 types of so called high angle driveline's that offers a 45 degree partially operating shaft - this was kinda a wonder in the driveline world until i got a hold of one- they use a 1310 ball stud 2 1/2 tube all hogged out - to a 1330 h yoke - cross joints inside to a 1310 wabler socket again- and at 40 degree's ang;e the pin is so far out of contact with the socket its just a joke- :D - i thought i'd add that tad bit of info- Jess

Oneton, i have one of the mega angle 1310/1330 mystery shafts and the h yoke was excessively clearanced, way too much material removed. everyone i show it too laughs.. then h yoke twisted. they (unamed) wanted too much $$ to fix so i just put it back together with an un clearenced 1330 h yoke and so far so good.. after comparing side by side with a stock 1310 cv this appears to give me more angle. Am i OK runing it like this?? Front d line hi torque low speeds. thanks Tony

mines at about 20*, my t-case has a 5* to the 25* driveshaft, what are some of you other running?
