the rwd/4wd conversion seems thus far to be the toughest.

 

and i would use the broken intermediate shaft so if anyone breaks there center diff you have the option of sending me the broken parts and for about 40% of new parts i could convert it for you.

I've got one of those I could send you ;)

 

Then the problem will be my stock r160 rear diff holding up to 500awhp and 450ft lb of torque :(

Mine broked too! Sheared the pins on the plantet gears clean in two. Destroyed all 4 gears and the center gear.

 

I had NOT installed the bushings as of yet. :(

I posted my carnage pictures in a new thread in the 4th gen section.

 

I broke exactly the same gears you did.

Anyone have a set of these bushing available for sale? It's time to beef up the 5EAT!

Time to get ready for some drive train updates... This was on my mind. Thanks for the transparent discussion about these bushings and dimensions... Looks like we can make these in house with no issue. Now to pick a transmission shop to go over the internals and see if Dave can work his magic on the valve body.

I understand I'm nearly a decade late to this discussion but I had a similar inquiry as above. Does anyone still have a hookup for these? If not, is there any dimensions I could give to a machine shop to get a similar set made? I see the dimensions posted above but I'm not sure if those were deemed accurate.
