Another small update.

My stock drive shaft that we shortened had a little bit of a kink in it, so I knew that I'd have to replace it fairly soon. So, last week I brought it in and had a local shop make me a new one. I decided to go with the 1350 joints and get a new rear pinion yoke to accommodate that.

Well, I went to install my new shaft on Friday and it was at least an inch and a half too long. The new slip yoke was longer so instead of "bottoming" on the transmission rear seal, it bottomed on the inner part. The new pinion yoke was longer as well.

So today I brought it back in to be shortened. Hopefully I'll get it back and be able to install it tonight! After getting a taste of it, I'm sick of not driving my car!
