Default shop in Houston that shortens driveshafts?
Hello,

I'm looking for a shop in the Houston area that does custom work on driveshafts. I need to have mine shortened due to swapping 4l60 to 4l80 tranny.

Appreciate whatever help I may get, thanks in advance.

C&T is in South Houston if that's closer for you. If it is an aluminum driveshaft, it will probably be expensive. A steel drives haft will be around $100.

50$ is what diamond automotive charges in humble to cut and balance steel.

Not sure on the price. A quick phone call would fix that.
