I snapped my driveshaft as well at the yolk and u-joint. Is this what yours looks like??



Make sure you get sealed u-joints!

Don't know if they are hardened or not but hardening something does not really make it stronger, more wear resistant but also more brittle.
I saw an article about the ring and pinion gears used in top fuelers and they keep the gears soft and use different steel to begin with , the hardened gears were shattering under the huge HP levels!!

Well I ordered both the the speed part and another that might work for half the price...not much to lose as the Spped parts are made to order, and the other will be here tomorrow and returnable locally. I also ordered sealed u-joints...lets see if I can actually get this in my driveway and do more miles than I spend $1000 bills on this thing!

So what was the problem, I must have missed it. I remember you had very high IATs but cant remember why?
