Camaro Coupler Question

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Sorry for the delay Kevin I was off on Friday.

I have the Auto version of the coupler in front of me. This one looks like the G8 one in that the sleeves have a 2nd sleeve and not one large one like the M6 Camaro version.

So either the driveshafts or, more likely, the differential differ in the Camaro between the manual and auto versions. Good to know, though!
I'll give you a ring here in just a bit to make money happen.

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Well both techniclally
The drive shaft includes the couplers and is a different length, but I would attribute it to the differential yoke being different.

[Eidolon]

Yup, the Camaro A6 coupler is what I needed.

Annnd installed with the exhaust wrapped to prevent further melting!

That's weird.
Can we confirm the diff yoke is the difference and not the manual drive shaft.

[Greg@PacePerformance]

William
I would say the drive shaft and the yokes are different for the M6 Camaro vs the A6 Camaro.
The TR6060 yoke fits the M6 shaft and M6 couplers, and the 3.45 manual diff has a different yoke from the 3.27 auto yoke.

The note on the 3.45 manual diff yoke is if you are changing the yoke on the diff you will also need to change the coupler on 2010 M6 Camaro's and early build 2011 M6 cars.

[Eidolon]

Yeah, so that does definitely answer the question: the diff yoke on the newer cars no longer have the countersunk holes for the coupler. Odd!

[BuildItYourSelf]

That Is odd. I am surprised no one has noticed this when swapping diffs. The newer ones must it be out there to much.I
