when u went to the 12 bolt,,did you go to the bigger u joint?

really,,all you need is NAPA part number P447, which is a slightly bigger u joint.
((used to be part number 240-0447))

here is a great write up i just used to get my stocker out to put my new one in for my 12 bolt,,,it was pretty easy.

if you have already dont all that,,then im not sure what to tell ya.

Being an automatic, that stock driveshaft may hold up, but with nitrous I wouldn't count on it. This is the driveshaft I use and recommend, and it comes with a 1350 U Joint to bolt right up to your Moser rear. Here is a video of my car using this driveshaft. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=541 Bob
