The UMI that I have mounts to the tranny tailshaft, but you can get a trans mount that moves it off of the tranny. I'm worried about breaking my tranny with it to be honest, but I have a new setup in to works to do away with the TA all together But UMI says not to worry about breaking it, thats what I have read anyway

Good luck with the TA though, but if you get a different one be sure to get an adjustable, it would suck if down the road you lowered the car or changed something in the suspension and had to buy a new TA because the pinion angle was off.

Talking Mystery X-TA Area 51 project

Turnin20s,

Thanks man- good advice. If I really can't get the Spohn TA to shut up, then I'm going back to the tail shaft mount route again, adjustable as you said.

Interesting on your mystery X-TA skunk works project!


All the best,
Rambo

I have the same setup and the clunking is loud as hell!!!! I checked everything and this is the problem.

I will run this before putting another trans mounted tq arm on. I broke the tailshaft on stock power and it cost me a transmission

Unhappy

Sorry to hear that man. I don't want that to happen either. Well they tightened EVERYTHING like crazy and it's still clunking same as always.

No word from Spohn....
