Hello I am doing a motor swap in my 99 gt and I can't get the driveshaft off at the rear end. I'm just curious if it is possible for me to just start pulling the motor and slide the yoke out of it? I'm thinking if I drop the k member and then just slide it ahead? Anyone ever try this?

Alright guys here's the problem, I can be taking off in 1'st and most of the time I can hear the driveshaft shaking violently, and it's really bad in reverse.m but after I get going its smooth. I had a mechanic install a new clutch and he said a tranny mount was broke so he replaced it...

Hey guys, ive posted about this before sorta but i posted about my clutch being all shaky n crap but i figured the noise was actually my exhaust hitting the chassis (mechanics dont know how to adjust an exhaust?) anyways. After a clutch job is it possible for them to not tighten a driveshaft...

My current OEM drive shaft has some vibrational issues and rather than wasting the money to get it fixed and rebalanced I'm just going to invent in a new one piece aluminum shaft. I have found two driveshafts: The one offered by Shaft-masters: Ford Mustang Aluminum Driveshaft 4" V6 Manual...

I am not trying to knock anyone here but I am almost done with my mechanical engineering degree and I have learned a few think that can be applied to our cars. 1. When a shaft or gear is designed the torque being transmitted is the determining factor as to how strong it will need to be...
