toploader problem
Hi all
I am in the final stages of the GT Falcon rebuild. To handle the increase in power I got a nice shiny new tailshaft made with Spicer uni joints and a brand new Spicer front yoke. I also got the gearbox overhauled (well almost)
Short version - the yoke wont slide all the way up over the output shaft of the gearbox. Investigation reveals the output shaft splines are bent (not the shaft itself).
Looks like the original tail shaft did not seat all the way, so over time the torque has bent all out of shape. Its not obvious to the naked eye, but there's no way the new yoke is going to go over. I cant use the old yoke on the new tailshaft.
Can anyone tell me if new output shafts are available and if so, how much am i looking at????
