i bought an aluminum driveshaft off ebay from a 2000 ls1 , my friend is putting some headers on for me so he's throwin the driveshaft on too. I have a 93 3.4 he says the bolts holding the old driveshaft in are seized up real badly and that it looks like the driveshaft i bought is 2 inches too short. is it supposed to be shorter? any advice? he's soaking the bolts in penetrating oil. I know it should only be a 15 minute job but it looks like there are some problems, anyone with knowledge on this plz help
seized? they are 4 really small bolts 9/16ths i think. And they arent even torqued hard. This might be a dumb question, but did you pull the e-brake so the shaft wont turn when you try and turn the bolts?

They didn't want to come off on mine either. I sprayed some wd-40 and next day they came right off.
i will tell him to use the e brake tho i'm sure he did, and i will tell him teh bolts are small ... maybe he's pryin off the wrong ones, but still should the shaft be shorter??

I think the one piece shafts are shorter than the two piece. Just think about it for a minute. It is shorter to go straight from the transmission to the pinion that in is to go transmission to carrier bearing to pinion.

sry ppl, this is all heresay, my mechanic has the ds not me, so i'd have to ask him to measure it and what not, since the shaft does slide into the transmission i should think there wouldnot be a problem even if it was shorter. i will have to give him a call and see if he has figured anything out yet, he's not the brighest man in the world. i will post again when i get some info from him
I'm predicting the future here but the next thread will read "My mechanic destroyed my car" Morale of the, future, story, don't let morons work on your cars.
Let's flip a coin. Heads I get tail, Tails I get head.
i wouldn't call him a good mechanic if he can't even swap a drive shaft =X

I swapped a driveshaft when i was 16, the first maintainence I had ever done besides oil changes was swapping my driveshaft...
However, I did notice when I went to swap my 96 two piece driveshaft w/ an LS1 alumi. that the bolts that attached the middle support for the 2pc to the underbody were very tough to get off
