I gave in...

The stock driveshaft started vibrating and making we'rd noises in the whole motor/transmission.

So I ordered an aluminum one.

I've ALWAYS wanted one....... But Ou$h!

It started making noises with this new turbo I have partially tuned in. It started to add a lot of drag on the car, and you could tell the bearing section of it got WAY hot as indicated by the burnt rubber and cast metal looking like it was baked almost hot enough to melt.

I guess after 20 years, it finally breaks. It was a damn good driveshaft that's for sure.

My car came with an aluminum driveshaft. The previous owner said it was one of the best "kick in the pants" mods he did. Enjoy the faster acceleration!

honestly you are much better off finding some place local. $450 from HPF + shipping and they sent me the wrong one, i dont think so.

Yes, it would be nice to hear your personal experiences with them to further educate us who are thinking about it but may not waste the money if they arent worth it.

 

[outofstep]

try a local driveshaft shop. Shouldnt run you over 200 bucks.

 

[RacerXJ220]

For steel, $200 is a good price. I'll put a steel unit on my MKII.

I wanted aluminum, fully balanced.

I bought mine from jawsgear. I'm still waiting on it to arrive.... I ordered it Sunday, so it should have shipped Monday, and been here today (Wednesday)........

I don't have an aluminum flywheel. My experience with the aluminum ds has been good so far.:x: It does make a little more noise than the stocker, and is kind of a bitch to lube,:icon_mad: but I love it!:love: The only reason that I wouldn't run the aluminum flywheel, is because, it is just not necessary for big hp/tq #'s. The money would be better spent somewhere else. KWNate had a little trouble with his, due to the type of clutch he is running. Just stay stock (flywheel) and you'll be okay!
