Trans-Axle Question

[dweet]

I heard the 2003 GT v6 trans-axles fit the 1997-2001 Tibs and are a bit beefier and fit right in. Is this true?

I don't know. -------------------------------->

Doubt it, 2 different frames, GK and RD are different

[beppomarx]

no they dont fit right in, or else all of the RD clutches would work with the delta. the delta has a larger flywheel to say the least, i am not sure about the mounting bolts but if you could fabricate a new bellhousing you could probably make it work.

now if you order one from korea they already have that worked out because they have the 6-speed on the beta this year from what ive heard

I think he's refering to just the axle halfshafts not the entire transaxle assembly.

I have also read on one of the fourms that the gen3 halfshafts fit the RD, but I haven't heard of anyone who has tried it first hand.

thanks for the insight fellas.... i just dont want to snap mine when i boost and i dont know of any others that might be stronger and actually fit

[bryfx]

composite half shafts is a bad idea

[Mad-Machine]

I would tend to agree. On a regular drive shaft, I can see Carbon working.. it has enough surface area to make a nice strong and rigid shaft... but hald shafts are generally solid...
