Mr McGee 07-15-2002, 11:24 PM as some of you know, i will be doing a 350/350 conversion...i NEED TO KNOW FOR SURE if i have to swap output shafts. (i got the long one) If all it needs is a chop, i can do that, but i would like to know if the spline counts are different and about how many banannas is changing an output shaft in a TH-350 trans. thanks _Max orangefj45 07-15-2002, 11:27 PM shafts are different in length, but you already knew that. you can not cut a 2wd shaft to the 4wd length!:( Mr McGee 07-15-2002, 11:30 PM Originally posted by orangefj45 shafts are different in length, but you already knew that. you can not cut a 2wd shaft to the 4wd length!:( jesus, that was a quick-assed reply!! :D is there a reason i cant, because isnt the 4wd shaft just a shortened version of the 2wd shaft?? :confused: yoda 07-16-2002, 05:46 AM Yes, the shaft is shorter, but the splines aren't long enough to cut off. AA makes the adapters in either a short or long shaft version (now, not when I did mine 15 years ago). I had a no name adapter that used long shaft that was junk, bought AA and had to change out the rear shaft. Only took about 40 mins of time on the bench, but I had all the tools to do it. Not what I would concider a DIY job. :usa: Mr McGee 07-16-2002, 09:37 AM can be the splines be lengthened...i have access to a handfull of 5-axis Maazak CNC milling machines. -Max (or, i know a mechanic friend, should i just have him do the ouput changeover?) orangefj45 07-16-2002, 08:28 PM nope, they're larger than the smooth section of the shaft, besides, that's a lot of trouble to go through when you can get a good used 4wd shaft for around $20.;) Mr McGee 07-16-2002, 09:16 PM thanks as i said in the other thread i will call u tomorrow..... oh and i got answers to this question so nobody else needs to respond and take up anymore bandwith! :D :D :D TK 07-16-2002, 09:28 PM Originally posted by orangefj45 nope, they're larger than the smooth section of the shaft, besides, that's a lot of trouble to go through when you can get a good used 4wd shaft for around $20.;) You better know what you are doing if you plan on swapping shafts! Mr McGee 07-16-2002, 10:12 PM right now im just looking for a shaft for cheap, either my uncle or mechanic will put it in (they work for :beer:) hehe :D :D | |
