subyrex 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 Hi guys, Just wanted to ask if any one had experience in extending there drive shafts and what sort of cost was involved. I have a 1991 E34 and i'm currently doing a Auto to Manual conversion on it, the Ds will need to be extended 150mm. What cost should i expect to see? It will most definitely need a new flange as well. Could some one please list an approx cost? Its a M50 and im fitting a Getrag250 behind it.

BM WORLD 1283 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) yup about $300 ,at driveshaft specialists in east tamaki and thats a cut , weld in new tube , fit yoke , balance etc. costs more if you have to service or replace universal , hanger bearings or cv joints etc Edited August 27, 2012 by Brent HARTGE535i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted August 27, 2012 I went to Beatty's Driveshaft Centre for my custom driveshaft.. $650, a touch pricey but they cut off the original front shaft section, replaced it with a longer tube section welding it to a Toyota input yoke.. so a fair bit of work and they had to get it balanced as well. I imagine a job like yours would be more around the cost of what Brent mentioned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
