iluvdrt Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Just curious for those of you who have had to get a drive shaft extended from doing a trans conversion, how much did it cost you? In NC when I had this done it was around $100-$150, but now that I am in SoCal its about $100 more. Is that about right for this area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Shortening driveshafts is cheap, but lengthening them is expensive because it requires all new longer tube,plus the labor of cutting and welding both ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvdrt Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 I ended up getting a total custom unit with Spicer 1410 U joints. Cost about $430, but they say it will never break. I also have the option to service the u joints now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yea, and when I had it done, they had to mill the flanges down to accept standard diameter tube (still cheaper than getting metric tube). It was $150ish 8 years ago or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machthree2 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 i'm close to marrying a legacy automatic front to standard back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machthree2 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 My 3 inch Lift + 5 speed required a longer driveshaft. I used a 94 legacy auto front shaft and Loyale back shaft. Gave me around 55 inches and I custom made a center bearing bracket.Works great and very little angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
