Tail shaft housing question
Hey guys, looking for some opinions on this.
I had my car on the dyno last Wednesday. First pull, the car made 441/393, which I was pretty excited about.. until I noticed my trans puked its fluid all over the dyno. I got under the car to take a look, and you can clearly see the tail shaft housing cracked right by where the torque arm mounts to it.
Would it just be ok if installed a UMI adjustable torque arm, torque arm relocation bracket, and a 2WD truck tailshaft housing (the “stronger” one, without the arm mount on it)? I would love to get a built 4L60, and I was planning to get one next year, but realistically it’s just not possible right now. I’m not looking to race the car, the rear wouldn’t hold up anyways, I mainly just want to be able to drive it again.
So what do you guys think? Will this work?
