  •  
    • Motorsports SVO driveshaft part # M-4602-G ( @150.00 wholesale ).
    • Ford Slip Yoke part # E9TZ-4841-A ( @49.00 wholesale ).
    • New rear flange bolts part # N-800594-S100, ( @ .99 each wholesale ).

      •            And I do recomend replacing them, (you will need four (4) of these ).
    • Installing the SVO Motorsports Aluminum Driveshaft:  In 1996 and up Mustangs equipped with the Borg-Warner T-45 tranmission:
    For this swap you will need the following:If you have the means, press off the yoke that comes on the SVO driveshaft,(Save or sell to to one of your T-5/C4 buddies for use as a tailshaftplug). Press on the new slipyoke (part# E9TZ-4841-A) If you can not do this
    by yourself, most machine shops can do for @ 50.00. Raise car, support byjack-stands !! Raise car higher in rear to keep any transmission fluid fromleaking out of tailshaft. Unbolt the stock steel shaft and slide out, lube
    new slip-yoke with "teflon" grease and slide theAluminum shaft in place. Install new rear flange bolts (parts #
    N-800594-S100). andtorque to 75-90 lb-ft, lower vechile and road test.Now enjoy, you have just dropped 15 lbs of weight off your allready heavy SN-95 Mustang. One morenote; on some cars you might experence rubbing of the driveshaft on extreme hard launches.( mine did, but I weigh 250lbs). The area under the emergency
    brake handle, where the two rear cables join the control unit may rub thedriveshaft, you can grid away the rivet
    heads or install the 1984 thru 1986 pinion-snubber ( @1/2' taller ). TheAluminum shaft measures 3 1/2" vs the stock steel shaft's 3" diameter, hencethe reason it may rub. Any questions???  - email Randy
