Auto or stick? They are different lengths.

With Shaftmasters the Auto and Manuals use the same DS

Manual for mine. I have a shaft for a auto 05. Just wondered if anyone knew the lenghs. We have a shop that cuts them down and rebalences them around here. For around 200 bucks. Since I already have that one I figured id try and save 500 bucks. Ill put it in the air this weekend I guess and mesure it. Was just trying to save me some time and trouble. Also got to take into acount the yoke for rear that would have to be changed don't know how much that will affect length. So if I knew the shaft lenghs I could just remove the difference.

The 2011 are longer than the 05-09 cars. I planned the do the same but they aren't long enough. Also, there is only around 3/16 difference in the flange to flange length between the auto and the stick.
I got a new one from the Driveshaft Shop. Frank did a great job getting me one out in less than a week so I could have it ready for Mustang Week this summer.

Thanks, I thought everyone was saying the 2011 shafts where shorter than the older cars. Oh well.

maybe someone who makes both shafts could chime in on the lenghs. might could keep stock yoke and add a adapter that some brands come with

had my question anwerd. ill just be buying a new shaftmasters unit in a few weeks.

Good for you Mike! Haven't heard from Mike R for a while, he doing ok?

 

[cobra mike]

Yeah he is fine. Just working, had a lot of cars come in all at once. No time to do anyting else.

Talked to him Friday night while you guys were at the track...need to get a re-tune since I put the power pipe on.

Heard you ran pretty good!

I don't have the exact length info at this time but I do know for sure that the 11' shafts for both the auto and manual are longer than the 05-10 shafts. The 05-10 shafts will not work on the 11' so you'll need an 11' specific shaft for it to fit properly.
