Well, the T5 is in! Time to complete the driveline. Want to retain the two-piece driveshaft, so everything from the carrier bearing back can remain the same. Since the short shaft slip yokes to the long shaft, I'm not sure how to measure the short shaft for cutting, nor do I know what the joint should be between the T5 output and the short shaft forward end. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Is there a driveshaft company within a reasonable distance of you? I would take a photo of the area you are working on then go to the driveshaft shop and let them show you where to measure. They will know what ends to put on. I know a couple of trips is a pain in the tookus but a one time fit is worth it.

Research the U-joints needed to replace the original shaft joint and S10 slip yoke. The conversion joint will have one of each. Google Denny’s Drive Shafts. There are helpful charts that will show the correct way to measure things. Take the completed chart to a drive shaft shop and they will know exactly what to do from there. | | |
