First look at the Hendrix Drive-Shaft

[GeorgeInNePa]

Had to steal this from Board.


Hmmm, I wish the Hendrix rep had posted some pics of his own, over here.

Looks like a nice setup. I hope (crosses fingers) I won't need one of those too soon. All I know is that the drive shaft that I get will be torture tested that is for sure.

On a related note, I can now see the worth of the BMR tunnel brace and connectors. If we are going to stay with a 2-piece, they will strengthen the floor boards and tunnel where the carrier mounts.

I noticed that it has a larger carrier bearing which is good.

You are going to have a 6M, right?

DRs and a happy left foot...

I wonder how strong that rubber piece can really be? Why did GM/Holden do that? Is it that much cheaper?

It has more to do with vibration and noise than cost.

It's probably more expensive actually, the rubber donut is to quell driveline noise it works quite well. Although one good launch for a converter car on slicks will probably hurt it ;)

Yes on the M6.

Happy right foot for sure. I'll do some smoky burnout (videos will probably follow) but I cringe at the thought of a red line side stepping of the clutch.

Sometimes you just gotta got for it!

On another note, I'll be curious to see the results of this drive shaft. Can we get them on "board" so to speak?!

They already are.

They already are.

Of course they are, why else would my posts be deleted. Considering what this board is supposedly founded on thats pretty funny right there. (and yes, I'm Joking.)

I explained this to you already. They were not deleted, you might want to read what a few wrote. Leave it alone! Hendrix is not Intense! Remember when this started from day 1, NO BASHING! Any product, most any vendor. We have talked too much about this already. Intense is on G8 boards, not here. Hendrix is a fabrication company that happens to be making a shaft for their G8. I dont know what this has to do with the 3800 issues.

Oh you so should have refreshed before posting LOL

It did rub a few wrong Chris. I just dont want it here. You know how I am and I really value you and your expertise on many things and dont want to lose that, but lets just let the Intense thing go. I am sure most of the world knows how you feel about them. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Looks like a good step up. Hendrix should be ready to jump in quickly for when the 5th Gen Camaro starts hitting the streets.

[wreckwriter]

Is there going to be room for a drive shaft safety loop around this shaft? Just how tight is it in there?

[TheTugBoat]

price?

[99-LS1-SS]

Will the drive-shaft for the auto be the same length as the one for the manual transmission?
