Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild

The next issue is of course a driveshaft. As you can see from the pictures, the stock TII shaft will not work. It's just a touch too long. Stock and the custom AL one I had built.





Now lets mount the bitch up. Before I swapped the trans I took a BUNCH of measurements off the u-joints of the original shaft thinking that I would be using that. I took the measurements under the assumption that the stock shaft would fit. Obviously it didn't so all my measurements were useless. So when building the mount, I had to guess as to where the tranny would be. I was close, but close doesn't cut it when it comes to drivetrain vibrations, we'll get into that a little later on, probably tonight as I do need to get something else done today.

So the mounting. I didn't want to solid mount the trans and when looking through my cache of parts I came across a spare set of FC rear control arm bushings from Energy suspension. I went to my stock of steel and found some tube that the bushing would fit snuggly into... SCORE! Poly trans mounts

So, first thing is to build a mount to the chassis. Pretty easy to imagine how this will go together.



Now the mount that goes between the two and bolts to the tranny was a little harder to built, but here's what we've got. Not bad and very strong
