The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline My 59 3100 and T5 Swap

Installed the drive shaft tonight, it was shortened 3-1/8” to 50-3/8” universal center to center. My local shop charged $240 for shortening, installed new universals front and rear and balancing. Seems pretty fair to me and they gave it a fresh coat of paint to boot.

I then poured in not quite 3 quarts of ATF in the T5, started the engine and let it idle. Listening for any squeals or grumbling, I didn’t pick up anything so I’m encouraged.
