Aluminum Driveshaft for 4R70W?

[Kilgore Trout]

No one seems to make one. If I switch to 4.10, wouldn't I want to upgrade the driveshaft since it will be spinning faster more often and balance will become a larger issue...?

Just buy the one for the 5 speed and transfer the yoke from your stock shaft to the aluminum one, otherwise they are exactly the same.

Thanks man!

That's exactly what I did. Works great!

Newbie here, transfering the yoke from your stock shaft to the aluminum one, is that difficult? special tools required?

Excuse the ignorance

Not hard. You'll need a pair of pliers, hammer and some sockets. If you have a vice that will help but, you can tap out the u-joints with a hammer and socket.

How much of a difference will the aluminum drive shaft make in the car. Is it worth it?

how hard is it to install the driveshaft along with the yoke?

From a horsepower perspective.....no, but for overall drivability, definitely! Of course the more you can decrease the rotational mass, the more power you're going to be able to put to the pavement, but their main advantage is no more annoying vibration at high RPM, no more worrying about the shaft disintegrating at high RPM and a more consist 60ft time at the track when it counts.

well you can go carbon fiber too

You do realize now that we're going to have to post after on and other in every thread for people to get this, right?
