BAXRTUTE Gold Donating Members 2,639 Member For: 9y 9d Posted 26/01/17 01:10 AM Share Posted 26/01/17 01:10 AM I have one on my built shaft also, my shaft is balanced to 0.22 which is pretty farking good... I need new bushes in the back though and a manual diff/truey as I went from a 4sp auto to a tr6060. Got no vibration under load or when I have some kgs in the tray but have a little bit in the back end on the hwy in 6th at 110-120kph but no where else.... but this could be the twin plate hating anything under 1700rpm and light throttle also. Seems like a pretty solid unit thus far though.

The rubber cv has been removed and replace with a universal. Here is a pic of the centre bearing.

OZYWALKER XR50T Gold Donating Members 2,795 Member For: 11y 11m 26d Gender: Male Location: Western Sydney Posted 27/01/17 01:40 AM Share Posted 27/01/17 01:40 AM It's a nice bit of kit. Definitely not cheap either, got quoted $2500 for one a few years back. And yea those poly bushed couplers are absolute poo, bushes flog out real quick.A solid one would be fine if you didn't the want to replace the shaft but best option is to have a new shaft made to do away with it completely.
