That's something I'm interested in knowing.
I spit a little grief in their direction and changed the plans a bit from a 3inch OD 8/32 thick steel pipe to 2 3/4inch (I think, damn this short term memory) OD 1/8 thick aluminum. Won't be removing the pinion nut. This is what I want. If using a one-piece with a slip yoke is going to have disastrous consequences let me know before I give them the go ahead. I want to have a lightweight prop shaft.

Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
I have already advised to lengthen the front half of the stock prop shaft... A one piece will cause nothing but problems no matter what yolks they use.

Yesterday I had them explain to me again why they couldn't lengthen it and they said they just can't take it apart. If this gives me problems that I can't overcome I'll just go find a Legacy shaft.

I called off he deal. I'm going to try now to source a Legacy shaft.
-- But first! I dropped the svx shaft off at another place to have it evaluated for extension. Will have an answer on that in the morning.

The second place says they cannot do it. Now I have to scour the junk yards for Legacy shafts.
I'm being offered a WRX shaft. Should I go for it or no?

Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
What is their reasoning for not being able to do it?
Is it because the center joint isn't a standard u joint? If so, what if you take it apart and just take the front section to them??

If they can't take it apart there is no way I can. I left it with them for almost 2 days. Their biggest beef was with that thick part behind the bearing, something about not being able to take it apart without destroying it. I didn't catch the jargon because I don't pay much attention sometimes, but I'm 0 for 2 on the stock shaft with both shops saying the exact same thing.

97 Legacy shaft now belongs to me. Now resuming construction of additional pylons.
-- It's now installed, but a little tight. Still need to buy a battery.

Got a battery. Started it up and ran it for about 3 minutes. Didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary minus the fact I couldn't put it in gear because the clutch disc is engaged. The clutch cylinders are not even bled properly far as I can tell, been kinda lazy about that, but I think I might have to drop the trans and grease up the shaft splines. I would have done this before, but I just found the instructions for installing the clutch and it says to do this but I didn't realize at the time of install that I even had instructions. According to this there is also a possibility the diaphragm tips are not in a parallel position. ****.
I really don't want to drop the trans. Pic of the clutch as it looked when I installed it:

The cylinders actually appear to be working properly, I just have no feedback from the pedal at all. I don't understand where the feedback is supposed to come from. I don't understand how the fork is supposed to engage the clutch if all the slave does is pull away from it when the pedal is released and the fork just sits there. It seems as if it should be connected to the fork somehow.
Can someone go into detail on this system? -- Nevermind, I just need to get out of denial and start pulling the trans back down...

Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
deleted cause I am a dumb ass
yeah something inside the bellhousing is not right. the pressure plate should push the fork back out to keep it touching the slave. it's either not seated or your throw out bearing is sticking on your unlubed shaft.... (god that sounds dirty) Last edited by zukiru; 07-21-2008 at 01:09 AM.

Re: Young Tom, someone help ASAP.
oi... Do you see the fork moving?? Is it slacked?? Do you have the TOB pushed all the way into the pressure plate?? Do you have the pivot dowel in??

I think the TOB is not pushed all the way into the pressure plate. It doesn't seem to be interacting with it. There is a little resistance when I push it in by hand, but not much.
