Will a aluminum drive shaft of a 03 cobra fit my 01 GT?

01KnightRiderGT · December 18th, 2010, 01:48 PM

Like the title says, found a good one for $80. will it fit, if so is it worth $80?

Thanks

It is worth 80$, but it will not fit your GT unless you have a T-56 in it. It is too short.

how much shorter? might be worth it if it's only like half an inch too short, since steeda sells a spacer for the d/s.

Steeda makes a spacer but I'm not sure if its for making a Cobra shaft work in a GT !

bottled2v · December 18th, 2010, 02:32 PM

it's not it's for putting a tko3550 in place of a t5 but i was just curious if it would work for the t56 as well.

The 03 cobra driveshaft is 1.5" shorter than the GT plus the companion yoke (rear end) is bigger (4.25" bolt circle). If you decide to not use it, I need a shaft for a 03 cobra and would appreciate it if you would give me a call.

dude thats a perfect deal for somebody trying to put a t-56 into a GT....

stal94gt · January 28th, 2011, 11:22 PM

you can swap yokes out to fit the sra. i just did this swap on my cobra. unfortunatly it is still to short and running the spacer wont eat up enough gap.

^ took long enough. I was just going to post that. The u-joint part # is precision 448 at Oreilly Auto Parts. Double check that because its off the top of my head.

Heres a pic of the two for anyone who cares

stal94gt · January 28th, 2011, 11:56 PM

448 is the right one, or you can swap the pinon flanges but that is harder
