[QUOTE="blacksheep-1, post: 13888426, member: 33936"] OK, I'm just saying it won't be as strong as the correct driveshaft because the yoke won't have all the contact necessary for the greatest strength. The big(er) issue with this , with the exception of the driveshaft falling out of the car, is that the trans mainshaft will " twist" and then you'll never get the right driveshaft yoke in. I've owned a trans yoke that had a 1 spline shift and there's no way you're ever going to get a new yoke on that one. and now you're replacing the yoke and the mainshaft. #1 yes, as described above #2 it could but there was about a 3/8 play, so I lived with it #3 I think what they mean there is that the IRS is basically bolted to the subframe, it really can't move, it's part of the chassis now, the stick axle on the other hand does move quite a bit under launch and that driveshaft needs the extra length to keep all the parts together Hope that explains it BTW, here's an old school war story, back in the early 60s when we ran Oldsmobile rears in everything, we'd mark the axles with a stripe, when the stripe twisted 90 degrees, we'd change sides, wind it back to straight , then discard the axle at that point. I'm sure that driveshafts probably do the same thing, I refuse to mark some of these because I think it might scare me..lol [/QUOTE]
