Drive shaft spacer

Jeffrostang · Dec 6, 2005

I'm getting a Tremec TKO 500 installed in Phoenix, az on monday and the shop that is doing it told me that they did not need a driveshaft spacer, that it will be fine with the yoke change. Should I call BS on them? Sounds like they have installed them before but I don't want to be on my 70 mile cruise back and have my car do a pole vault down the freeway. What do you guys think?

I had a 95 Cobra and put a 3550 in it with no spacer. But I put a TKO 600 in my 94 and needed one??? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Many times, things will fit fine without utilizing one. However, a lack of spacer can change the pressures exerted on the internals of the tranny. I have a friend who installed a TKO III in his '94 GT. He didn't use a spacer and ended up blowing the tranny as a result. The Tremec employees scolded him for ignoring their warnings. My TKO II fits in my '95 GT without a spacer. However, I run the recommended spacer, just to make sure.

I just ordered one from steeda just to be safe. I don't want any problems. I'm spending too much money not to do it right the first time.
