I am glad that PST did that for you.
That's exactly why I went with EPP and PST for my new DS after twisting the splines in a Denny's N2o DS(yes I know it twists because DS is to short but the Denny's came with the car and I never knew it was too short)

No doubt, we will be running a wheelie bar this year if whatever class we run allows one.
lol, I spend more money ever time the car does that.
It needed a new oil pan, upper a arms, shocks rebuilt again and the dash put back together... Bob

i havent driven it on the street yet, just filled the tranny with fluid and ran it on the jack stands for a new mins to check for noises. Seems like its a little notchy to get between gears (moreso than regular
), but i'm hoping thats just because the tranny has been sitting dry for a week and the internals just need to get wet and lubed up again. usually a new batch of syncromesh makes it shift like butta. no ennis for me this weekend. i'm going to recheck the pinion angle since i had to take all that apart, and then get some street driving in to make sure there arent any weird vibrations/issues.

got it all back together and took it for a drive last night. was very hard, if not impossible at times to get in some gears. rather inconsistent. pumping the clutch a few times often helped. i'm going to try bleeding the clutch, but i fail to see how the two events are connected.
opening a new thread in the manual transmission forum to get further insight.

poorly.
this thread was the FIRST time the slip yoke broke. it broke a 2nd time a month later. come to find out, the culprit was the torque arm mount bolts coming loose. due to my negligence, i stopped checking the torque spec on them after a couple months of them never moving.
in the 2nd round, i broke the slip yoke, the torque arm mount, and now that i have it all back together, i have a weird clunking noise from my driveline. its either u-joints, or the rear end. im actually going to a driveshaft shop today to have the shaft re-balanced and have the u-joints inspected.
