Is the part already out of the transmission? We have full access to a machine shop, and can do custom work. If you know the dimensions, we can help.

tick performance has all the parts for that stuff.

http://www.tickperformance.com/ticks...transmissions/

from their website:

Upgrade to Viper Mainshaft:
Includes everything that you need to convert your stock mainshaft over the much stronger Viper unit, including our Custom-length Viper 30-spline Mainshaft, Modified Speedometer Wheel, New Tremec Transmission Extension Housing (Custom-Machined for Viper Mainshaft) with no core charge, Viper-sized Output Shaft Bushing, Viper-sized Output Shaft Seal, and Yoke. This upgrade will increase the torque rating of your transmission to 550ft/lbs (rear wheel.)

I know the Viper input shaft is longer than the LS1 input shaft but how are they different other than that? They are the same spline count right? I need a new input shaft and if a machined down Viper input is some how better than a replacement LS1 input shaft, I might want to go that route myself.

Or did you mean to say main shaft?

This may sound hack but I cut mine down with a cut off wheel on my old Camaro and drove it for 20,000 miles without a problem

Jason at texas drive train performance can do a 31 spline shaft that he has machined to fit and his prices aren't bad either. Mine has it been running great for the past few years.
