Is there a trans brake for the 6r? Are you planning on taking the car to the drag strip?
No you need to have a slip joint in it.

SR Performance Mustang Aluminum One Piece Driveshaft 384412 (11-14 GT) - Free Shipping
Notice the joint built into the shaft. The 6r80 does not have splines to put a shaft into..
So what did you do here just swap your U joint and flange on to the 11-14 drive shaft?
No it's a complete set up, no need to switch anything. Here is the Factory ford piece. M-4602-MGTM.
I had a question. What part number is that 2013 backing plate/starter index plate?
I have been looking and it doesn't look like M-7007a or M-6367a.
Edit: I found the backing/starter index/inspection/separator plate. aka someone needs to pick 1 description. It's PA26448.
Dang these Driveshafts are insanely expensive. I can have a custom DS made for around $400.
Would this work?
Dorman Products - 946-374
The Backing plate and inspection plate are separate pieces. Unless you found an assembly number for both.
The picture in the first page of the thread shows the rear driveshaft flange Paul used and it looks completely different than the 10-14 flange. I'm just guessing there is a reason why the old/new driveshaft pic shows the old driveshaft missing the U joint and flange. Looks like U bolts for a Ford 9"
Yeah the listings of that part is confusing. it's 2 part #'s through Ford.
My eye's aren't what they used to be but I am sure that flange on the Drive shaft is the same as the SR and the ford performance 1's.
Edit: the backing plate #AC3Z-7007-A is the correct 1 for the swap. Sorry about my/the confusion.
Thanks for clarifying,
I have researched Driveshaft materials and RPM capabilities and it seems that steal is a superior high RPM material. That being said it is Dorman and they are not very good at providing high quality parts.
I have found a shop in MN that will modify my FRPP aluminum DS with the proper forward flange and correct length for $325
Also picked up a 98k mile 4x2 2012 F150 5.0 6R80 for $300 with a 2 year extended warranty. The case needs cleaning and it needs a new filter and pan gasket because the salvage yard I got it from takes the filters out so the customer is forced to put new ones in.
How do you like it with factory converter what kind of stall are you getting
Michael, Have you looked at the Shrader mount? I have Kooks 1 7/8 LT and Kooks 3" X pipe. Looks like the Shrader mount has more clearance compared to the Stifflers.
