Lvcien Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The JTR book is in my car, which currently -- I can't get to at the moment. I'll be using a turbo 400 transmission and the stock differential on my Z (r200 I believe - '76 280z) .. I was told I'd have to get a new driveshaft made from something or another? What exactly is that all about? -- Sorry for the stupid question... I just don't understand anything from the transmission back.. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The book is pretty good at explaining what you need. But the last 6 years' collective expereince here at HybridZ is GREAT at sharing the details. You need to know what type of diff you have (R180, R200, early, late, pinion flange pilot bore diameter, bolt circle or rectangle dimensions.....) in order to source the right adaptor. Do a search on "driveshaft" "1310" "spicer" "neApco" and ye shall find: You may see about ordering a adapter from JTR to adapt the R200 flange to a 1310 u-joint then get a shaft made up with 1310's on both sides. NEAPCO part number 2-2-899-1 The -1 is important as it means a larger u-joint than the 2-2-899, which is a 1210 series joint. I bought the 2-2-899-1 part and noticed that the bolt holes are 8 mm and not 10 mm. From what I remember of the flange they have a 10 mm bolt hole. the rest of the post said that this part # All I know is that I told the shop to order Spicer part #2-2-1819 and I got the correct flange. I never mentioned Neapco or an N part number. "The driveshaft flange bolts to the Z Car differential and uses a Dana #1310 U-joint, which was commonly used on most Chevrolets in the 1960s and through the early 1970s. The pilot diameter on the flange is 2.25 inches in diameter. All 1970-1978 Z Cars came with the 2.25" pilot diameter. Later (ZX) cars came with either a 2.25" or 2.00" pilot diameter. If the differential has the 2.00" pilot, the pinion flange will need to be changed to one with a 2.25" pilot." Or use part 2-2-1819 for the differential companion flange with the 2" pilot/10mm bolts. adaptor part number is 2-2-459 has the 2.25 pilot and the 1310 joint size cross but it has the small bolt holes and tighter bolt pattern that blots it to the yoke. It work perfect with my R180 http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/html...o_measure.html http://www.jegs.com/customerservice/CustomshaftForm.pdf http://www.nationwideparts.com/driveshafts.htm http://www.drivelinesnw.com/auto_order.htm http://www.pstds.com/critical_link_drive_shafts.htm When I got mine shortened, I just brought in the chevy driveshaft and front yoke. For $80 I got the shaft shortened and balanced, new Spicer u-joints and appropriate Neepco adapter, all assembled. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop N Wood Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 The JTR site has detailed pictures and measurements of the 3 different type of adapter flanges they sell. Using a ruler and their web site you should easily be able to order the correct flange for your diff from them. Then all you need to do is source a used drive shaft from a chevy that had your transmission and take the two pieces to a drive shaft shop for shortening and balancing. To piggy back on this thread, does anyone know any part numbers for hooking the 1310 Ujoints on the JTR flanges to a shaft using 1330 joints? The chevy dealer could not find the part number listed on the JTR site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 a Spicer 5-134x combination u-joint which mates a 1310 yoke to a 1330 yoke. Supposedly this is a late '70's Ford F250 u-joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
