a chucky looking bit of kit. Do you still need to use the rubber doghnut or does it bolt directly to the diff?

 

Looks like it uses the donut to me so a bit of a weak point as thats what normally fails, the yanks use bigger UJ's and ally adaptors on the toyota box and diff flange

Is also madness to have the donut next to a Uj, the donut needs positive location drive and the Uj will try and buck when shock loaded, and run out of true due to the donut being a flexible drive that's only intended as a "Cush" shock absorber and should only be coupled as THE end joint so it's centre pin keeps it straight to it's driveshaft

 

You may find this causes some weird vibrations

 

You'd be better doing away with the donut and being careful (if your manual and notauto) not to shock load the diff/transmission

A lot more in an Auto !!! and depends on age and condition of the donut, no good for a performance prop it the weakest link in the prop so madness to leave it

 

interesting i would have thought auto donut would have failed before the manual one considering the BHP output the manual can hold

The auto does not shock it as much as the man gear change, its the same part auto or man.

Got ya

 

No donut needed, I was told to bolt it directly on to the diff.

I will bolt it on this weekend.

See how it goes.

 

Yeah keep us posted on how it goes
