TKO/ Driveshaft Question

[igotyofire]

Im just curious they say that the driveshaft needs to be lengthed when using a TK0 tranny? I was wondering is it the slip yoke that lengthhens it, or how do u go about having that done?

I don't know if they require the same lengthen, but I have a 3550 and I just used a driveshaft spacer from Steeda. I think it's 5/8".

Yup 5/8 spacer is what I used on my Tko. The driveshaft yoke isnt seated enuff in the tranny tailshaft w/o it.
Steeda, UPR, and D&D all have um for like 45$

Save your self some headaches and get the aluminum DS as well because it is better balanced and you will get some weight saving since tko's and 3550's weigh more than the T5.

Also, the reason it needs lengthened is because the bell required for the swap is designed like the fox bell's which were shorter than ours and therefore it moves the tranny forward about 5/8", the spacer just does the same for the DS. I'm running the spacer on my car.
