1997cobra Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 "at ride height" If you don't pull out you might end up with a problem that you don't want lolSent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 anyone know how much is supposed to be in the trans? the stock yoke was a lot longer than the one on the 03 cobra driveshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997cobra Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 As deep as it can go, then pull out 1 inchThis is getting dirtySent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 from what i'm reading is that 3" of engagement is safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 okay, where do you get spacers? I haven't checked at ride height yet but I think i'm going to need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997cobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 amount of engagement is not the way to measure it. you could have a 7 inch long yoke, 3 inches of engagement will vibrate.in all the way, back it out an inch. that's how the pros do it, that is how it should be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Good to see you got it all squared away! As far as the DS spacer goes, maybe just keep an eye out for a used one to pop up or corral or something, coulda bought the one I had for sale a few months ago lol. Ryan (prokiller) is the proud new owner of it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnyxCobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 so... if it doesn't vibrate it's good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 so... if it doesn't vibrate it's good?Yes. There should be no vibrations. From the drive line.

1997cobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 You're going to need longer bolts for the spacer alsoSent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1997cobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I have nothing against ace, ask Bryan, I love the place. I just don't trust their hardware against a rotational load.

95riosnake Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Here's a comparison photo for you, there's plenty more room for the yoke to go in if you do get a spacer.It might be ok with it as-is, but I would personally feel better getting it engaged further in. Granted I have a different situation because the IRS pinion flange is closer to the trans than the SRA pinion flange is. I am using an aluminum 94-95 DS with no spacer btw.

1997cobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Also, your pinion flange does not move, so you can cut it as close as you wantSent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnyxCobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'd suggest drilling 8 holes in the driveshaft spacer and buying 4 shorter bolts, i think it would be stronger since that's how they sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997cobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 It would be just as strong as stock if you made it out of the same material. If it is made out of aluminum, it will be weaker that waySent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 maybe I'm no expert, i just don't think they'd sell them like they do if the other way was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997cobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) It's probably fine, considering you can get an aluminum drive shaft. but there will be a difference in strength. Same principle with wheel spacers. Look up maximum motorsports wheel spacer tech. Their spacers run the studs all the way through for a reasonSent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Edited May 29, 2013 by 1997cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 yeah i see what you're saying. they sell both styles, looks like 1" + they use integrated studs and 3/4" or under they use the stud through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1997cobra Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Exactly. The problem with aluminum is that you need something like twice the thread engagement compared to steel for it too be as strongSent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
