question about posi and my driveshaft

[FormulaLT1]

The new rear would still attach to the rear U-joint and yes unless the dimensions changed, it would be the same size shaft.

lol, i will prob buy one later, lol, i thought i would have to have one custom made for me, but it seems like there are tons of them.

No biggie, if you want one let me know. If not, no big deal. I only get them in when someone needs them, so I am not trying to sell off a supply of them I have.

Sounds sweet. Yeah my driveshaft is rusty....darn....Let me get some cash together and ill let you know. I gotta pay for school soon so Ill have to figure something out. Its a fairly loud whine. I thought it was my bearings in the front but then I replaced them when I did the brake job. Its most loud when i take my foot off the gas and slow down. Its not extremely loud or anything but it is there. Could be the transmission for all I know. I should just go ahead and have my tranny fluid changed.

Thats something else to ask....Someone told me not to flush the tranny just change the fluid. This was at a car show and there was a lot going on so I didnt get to ask why. I also wanted to change my differential oil. Is that a simple non huge mess making and time consuming (less than 5 hours) kinda ordeal? Ive never messed with a rear end before. Maybe it will get rid of the whine.

Whining from a rearend is usually a sign that the differential isnt setup properly. Some gearsets are just noisy but when they are setup right, they usually sound like a factory rearend.

not to be an a$$ for trying to take busniess away from you FormulaLT1 but i got my aluminum driveshaft for 50.00, just look around the internet or a 4th gen site and get a used one from them.50 is pretty cheap for a aluminum driveshaft.i seen them any where from 30-100 most of the time.

[FormulaLT1]

Thats a great deal and by all means. If you can get them that cheap jump on them. I never got one that cheap.

Is it the 1le or ls1?

[Xenostalgia]

perverts all talking about shafts and crap...


same driveshaft for z28 is for the 6er?

[FormulaLT1]

The 6's and v8's use the same length shaft. (you may have to swap the yokes but I doubt it).

[tcfco2005]

mine came from an ls1...is the 1le a 3inch like the ls1

[FormulaLT1]

No, the 1le is 2.5 inches and weights 12.2 - 12.5 lbs. So you got the much better of the 2. Also the LS1 is rated to handle more torque.. You got a sweet deal.

i was checking out your e-bay post and it says "98-02 LS1 F-body with either 3.23 or 3.42" what are those numbers at the end? 3.23 & 3.42?

[FormulaLT1]

Those are gear ratio's. LS1 f-body's with 2.73 gears or the rare 2.93 gears had steel unbalanced shafts. Only the 3.23 geared Auto's and 3.42 geared Manuals got the aluminum balanced shafts.

[Viper_Storm]

so if you have a 98 - 02 LS1 Fbody then you already have the aluminum driveshaft?

[FormulaLT1]

No, not always. If you have a Auto without the performance rear axle package. You would have had 2.73's or 2.93's and those cars got steel 16 lb unbalanced driveshafts.
