Bought My First Pig

Tom woods does quick affordable drive shafts. Great service and product.

Do they stock them at length or do I need to send measurements? I haven't dealt with driveshaft shops yet. Always outsourced that part .

 

[scrapdaddy]

They will need the measurements, flange to flange. That's where I got mine, too.

Tell them pinion and tcase flange bolt pattern and they will match.

Nevermind. Think I figured it.

Took the inspection cover off and OMG! The pressure plate is rusted out and the friction disc is junk. Now to have a beer and contemplate whether to h55 convert or just reseal and refresh the 3sp and clutch stuff. Projects! Am I right?

I like the way you think!!!
Where others see rust, you see opportunity!
3 speed > 5 speed, that is doing it right!!!

Anyone know where I can get some later model flanges or complete driveshafts?

I believe Kurt @cruiseroutfit stocks flanges so you can change things up!

Cruiser Outfitters

If you’re in the 1974 and up crowd, the good news is that the output yoke/ driveshaft yoke bolt pattern on 34mm split cases up until 1984 is the same. If you’ve got a cruiser from previous years the pattern is different requiring different driveshaft yokes.

3sp out! Will get to the rest tomorrow. So far looks like broken clutch finger, janky seals, boogered everything else.

I was gonna mention something to the effect of tree climbing ability…

He’s evolving from a 3 speed to a 4 speed. Pretty soon it’ll be an automatic and sipping tea and talking philosophy.

High tea and quoting Chaucer and such?

The Flippy floppies are nearby, but yeah I prefer it hobbit-style.

@cruisermatt stopped by with the shifty stuff. Gotta get cracking on the 4sp, now. No excuses.
