This sucks my genV swap is so expensive already .... then another 7 for the drive shaft it looks like.......🤦🏽♂️... is it light weight or capable of spinning fast with out blowing up at least???
Driveshaft with slip-yoke was round $500 plus the adapter, so yea around $700. If you get a conventional 2 wheel drive transmission without the 2 piece driveshaft then you use a conventional yoke and the cost is much less.
Hey buddy. Where did you have that shaft made ? I need one for a LS3 swap with a TR6060 up to a GM 10 bolt rear end. I have a qoute of $980.00 for it not including the $200.00 plus dollar sonnex adapter I already bought. They are saying I don't use the adapter?? Can you direct me in the right direction please ?
I just had my local 4x4 shop build the axle, around $600. You can also use the stock rubber donut and have the driveshaft built like a stock one. Check out the two-piece driveshaft from a 2018 Camaro SS for reference
Cars have the rubber donut because they have a two piece driveshaft. No, its not easy, you have to remove the trans output shaft to swap to a truck one, and that is the first thing installed so have to remove and take the trans apart. Using the Sonnax 3-Bolt Adapter Flange Yoke is the path of least resistance and it works fine.
In the description above (6L80 adapter (Sonnax Flanged Yoke T35-GMFD-01) mated to Slip n stub). It was built by Quality 4x4 in Port Angeles, Wa. Any decent driveline shift can build it for your or search for offroad specialists in your area.
I'm doing this on my 2nd gen Fbody. I've heard of ppl having vibration issues using the sonnax adapter, have you encountered anything like that? I already have the flange on hand, just don't want to install it just to find out I will be battling driveling vibrations.
@@GenV_Restomods how much did the driveshaft cost? I built my own using the slip yoke and sonnox adapter but I have runout causing a vibration around 4,000 rpm

U know what size bolt u use to mount that sonnax to the flange?
Maybe 3/8" or 7/16" standard bolt size.

How do you get the stock flange nut of the trans and what size is it.

@@GenV_Restomods thank you

hey doing a swap need one for a 8l90

Do you have contact info for the place you got the driveshaft. And/or part numbers?

@@GenV_Restomods Would this be same set up for a 2wheel drive truck? I’m in WA so I could use the same shop if necessary

No problem with vibration at all. You just have to make sure you use the right size bolts so there's no slop or play in the connection.
If you have concerns use a magnetic dial indicator and see what the runout is. No worries

No problem with vibration, very well built precision piece
