I wonder if this could help with the parade clunk? Less rubber in the drive line should help to tighten things up a bit. Let us know how it goes.

How much movement is there in the drive shaft? This is not a live axel car. The tranny and diff are pretty much fixed. The only movement is from the rubber mounts.

I think one thing is true of any car company- they are in business to make a profit. If for some reason an item is not necessary for the car to function they would not put it on if it costs more money IE the two piece drive shaft is probably more expensive than a one piece. Perhaps though, a one piece by virtue of the increased length would be more expensive than a two peice due to better materials/precision balance requirements. Unless we could talk to the engineer that worked on this part of the drive train every thing is just a guess. It would rock if some of these engineers would post here, they could clear up a lot of issues (yeh, we did this this way because of this). A switch to a one piece drive shaft could be the greatest thing or a complete waste. When someone does it and tells us about it then we will know. That is the greatest thing about these forums, every one can learn from a few people who have taken the, if you will, first step!

I'm curious as to how much power this will free up.

It would be cool to do a dyno with the stock shaft and then swap on the spot and do a another pull with the new shaft!
