This page is to help you determine the information
needed to order our Custom Engineered Driveshafts. You will need
transmission type, Rear U-Joint Series and shaft measurements. If
you have any questions feel free to
contact us.
Identify Transmission
►
General Motors
TH350, 700R4, 4L60E = 27 Spline 1 1/2" Seal Diameter
TH400, 4L80E = 32 Spline 1 7/8" Seal Diameter
►
Ford
C6, T56 = 31 Spline 1 11/16" Seal Diameter
AOD, C4, T5 = 28 Spline 1 1/2" Seal Diameter
4R70W = 28 Spline 1.598" Seal Diameter
►
Chrysler - Dodge
727 = 30 Spline 1 11/16" Seal Diameter
904 = 26 Spline 1 9/16" Seal Diameter
Note: Transmission slip yokes
are manufactured with various U-Joint Series. It is important to
match Horsepower and Torque requirements to U-Joint Series. For
aftermarket transmission applications usually a spline count and
seal diameter will identify slip yoke required.
Identify Rear U-Joint
If Pinion Yoke has Placement tabs that retain the
U-Joint, measure inside tabs. See Diagram D.
If Pinion Yoke does not have Placement Tabs that
retain U-Joint, measure from flat of yoke inside to inside. See
Diagram E.
If 4 bolt Flange is used on pinion, measure Pilot
Diameter and center to center diagonally bolt hole to bolt hole. See
Diagram L.
Universal Joint Size. There are hundreds of
U-Joint sizes or "Series" to accommodate many different applications
of power and desired longevity for your automotive, 4x4 truck or
auto racing requirements, these 4 series of joints cover most needs.
1310 Spicer Series: 1 1/16" Cup Diameter (Dim C
- Diagram A) 3 7/32" length (Dim B - Diagram A) Certain Ford
applications have 2 cups 1 1/8 Diameter. Appropriate horse power
range is up to 500 in circle track or road racing, small tire drag
racing and 4x4. Also available: Performance Dynamic Cryo Joint.
1330 Spicer Series: 1 1/16" Cup Diameter (Dim C
- Diagram A) 3 5/8" length (Dim B - Diagram A) Certain Ford
applications have 2 cups 1 1/8 Diameter. Slightly stronger than
1310, Used in 5.0 Mustangs. Also available: Performance Dynamic Cryo
Joint.
3R Saginaw Series: 1 1/8" Cup Diameter (Dim C -
Diagram A) Retained with internal clip 2 5/8" (Dim B - Diagram A).
Most common GM joint. Horse power range up to 700 in road racing and
circle track. Solid drag racing U-Joint can accommodate most
sportsman classes. Also available: Performance Dynamic Cryo Joint.
1350 Spicer Series: Manufactured with OEM
tolerances and treated with our
Cryogenic Process
to yield the strongest U-Joint available. For drag racing
applications a solid non-lube design U-Joint is recommended because
of the tremendous initial shock load, or short duration of high
torque the joint must be able to withstand.
Driveshaft Measurements
If Monster is supplying you with transmission slip
yoke, Pinion yoke and driveshaft yoke measure Dim W. See Diagram N.
If Monster is supplying you with transmission slip
yoke and driveshaft measure Dim X. See Diagram N.
2 Piece driveshafts use Dim Y + Z. See Diagram N.
