Join and Clutch: Horrible

Even if he offers to make a brand new one, I've triple checked my meassurements. He's proven he can't build it already.

Dont feel bad man. I know exactly where youre coming from, but just had my troubles with Fleetpride. Ive heard nothing bad about joint and clutch, and they balanced my ds after Fleetpride fucked it up. This is not to say that everyone will always have a good run-in with every company.

Hope they fix it for you, or reimburse you the way you want it to be done.

I have always given driveshaft measurements from center of one u-joint bore to the center of the opposing u-joint bore. To be able to do this, the yoke you are going to use needs to be in the trans where you need it and the vehicle weight needs to be on the rearend.

It is odd that Joint and Clutch was so difficult to deal with. I do know from talking with Larry in the past that they don't particularly recommend aluminum shafts for high horsepower work over 550-600 horsepower. I don't trust aluminum above that level myself. But, that doesn't excuse them for any crappy work they may let out the door, either.
