Re: need help with drive line

The driveshaft and carrier bearing assembly you have now is superior to what brokenspoke is referring to. Just about everyone that has that whimpy carrier bearing hung from the top, has problems with them. I would definitely keep what you have, it is the heavy duty version.

As for the driveshaft length/engagement, it does look to me that the front shaft should be at least 1" longer. But that is also depending on how much engagement the yoke has with the trans output shaft. I also noticed that the rear of that trans appears to be quite a bit too low. The trans mount looks to be about even with the bottom of the frame. It should be a couple inches or so above it.
