Some of you may already know, I will be doing a manual conversion to my car in the coming months. At the moment I have everything except for clutch cable, clutch pedal for manual pedal box, clutch and manual tail shaft to suit sedan.
Im at 2 minds with the tail shaft. I dont know if its better/cheaper to find a tail shaft to suit my application from like a wrecker or salvage yard, or modify the alloy ute shaft I have in my possession. That one has a dampener on it and looks to be thicker too. Supposedly better for less backlash and resonance at higher speeds. Any of you guys know what's involved with getting a tail shaft professionally modified? or know of anyone who has a tail shaft they want to get rid of to suit AU sedan? Also, if any of you guys could assist with the clutch pedal too, I would be grateful. The clutch cable I will end up buying new. Dont want to chance second hand. The clutch I will buy new right when the the conversion is about to start. Will be going for a Exedy Sports Tuff HD organic. Thanks in advance

dunno mate, my brother had a steel one made up from scratch for a conversion, can`t remember the actual figure( pretty sure it was more than $300, possibly $500), but it was in the hundreds, i reckon a good second hand unit/ correct application might be the go.
if your going to make an enquiry about getting the thick one modded................i would ring small tailshaft places first, imo you`ll get a better deal than the big companys on this one. |

Thanks Mik. I reckon Im gonna ring around to see if I can find one second hand. That's the best option rather than modding one.
If anyone knows of one being sold, please PM me about it.
