Jeffrey Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 As some of you may know the the driveshaft on the GN came apart on the dyno. I am obviously looking for a replacement and need to know where I could have one made? Obviously I am going for strength and able to handle the abuse. So who is good in town and any experiences you have had with them would be good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboRust Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Columbus joint and clutch x100000000 driveline 1 charged me 250 bux for a drive shaft they welded together crooked and couldnt balance... columbus joint and clutch made it right for about $80.

Jeffrey Posted May 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 I got time I have not even got the tranny out yet and it will be a week minimum for that to be rebuilt and for the TC to get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA In Progress Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 if your not in a hurry to have it i get all my drive shafts from inland imperial. took less than a week on the last one i ordered. I thought it was Inland Empire? Also, Columbus Joint and Clutch has done several driveshafts for me and all has been well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 I sure hope youre having vince Janus in akron build your tranny. What converter are you gonna use? LU or non-LU? don't go smaller than a 9" for street use, PTC & art carr work well, Talk to vince before you build/buy parts, he will steer you in the right direction. Stock driveshafts in GN/ttypes hold well in the 10 sec range, you could have had a bad u-joint cause your failure. Its strange for a driveshaft on these cars to break unless youre using a transbrake.
