a6t8vw Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hey guys, I'm removing my TH350 trans to install my camaro tremec t-5 and was wondering if my current driveshaft would work? The t-5 is is longer correct? id be happy if i had to cut down my current shaft instead of buying a whole new one.. i hope this is the case Also T-5 Output shaft spline count is 31? and Th350 is 27? im not sure if this is correct but looks like ill need to change yokes. Anyone else switch from TH350 to T-5? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revlis240 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hey guys, im going the same route. what was the solution? is there any guidance you can pass along? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 In my opinon the best thing to do is get a camaro driveshaft that went to a 5 speed. Then take both to your driveline shop and have them make one good driveshaft for your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revlis240 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) I can confirm that the spleen count is the same. Im swapping the turbo 350 for the T5 right now, and I just took the driveshaft off the turbo 350 and it slipped right into the T5. Woot. Length...ill get back to you in a few weeks. I doubt ill get lucky twice. Edited October 18, 2010 by revlis240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 It most likely will need to be shortend and balanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revlis240 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 lol itll be so tiny! the driveshaft is like only 20" long as it is. Ill have the turbo 350 out soon, my plans got delayed because I may take the engine and trans out together. The way I see it, it may be easier than trying to fiddle with the trans under the car.

revlis240 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Update: Once again, spleen count is the same, but the Th350 is approx 28.75" long and the T5 is 31.75" long so 3" will have to be cut out of the driveshaft. I will take exact measurements in the future, but with the amount of slack in the yoke it wont matter much anyway. How much should an average shop charge to trim 3" off a driveshaft?

kamikaZeS30 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 For my swap I went with a T-5, to begin with. But, to get the Datsun drive-shaft shortened, balanced, new GM yoke and joints (both ends) was like $110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOTHALOSISM Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 So the stock Datsun Driveshaft will work ok with this setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geking Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 That is what the shaft shop did for me. (Originally said that they would use the GM shaft, I picked up the Datsun...) So i have been pushing 260 HP though a datsun shaft with a chevy slip yoke on it with no problems so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revlis240 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Update and answers: Confirmed: Spline count is the same TH350-T5. Length (with my 71 closer mustache bar) was trimmed about 2" at a cost of $75 including balancing! Happy trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
