Re: 5 speed conversion with pics

Well, I'm looking for feedback/direction ...

Below are pics of my drive angle ... YES, the intermediate shaft is too short by about 3/8" minimum ... the carrier bearing mount is at the very front of the mounting holes of the frame support. Also, you can see that the shaft is at an upward angle from that bearing mount. Looking at the angle of the front U-joint, right behind the tranny output shaft "mount", the wngle isn't too bad ... pretty straight .. might be able to drop it down a little more.

My question is ... would you rather have a front u-joint angle or one held by the rubber of the carrier bearing? Or is a redesign all together?

For those who were looking, you can see the tranny hump and shifter coming through it ...

Anyone thouhts, feedback, or updates on your own projects would be appreciated ... there are enough of us out here!!!

Dave
