Input shaft

[yeasure]

Ok time for you guys to step and be honest here.
I'm reading two different things from 2 people i respect and honestly don't know what to believe.
One says the Liberty 26 input shaft is 100% made for our cars then the other says it's not but D&D is.
So whats the truth here, which one is made 100% for our cars honestly?

Liberty's was designed off a 10 spline Cobra T-56 input shaft, then adapted to 26 spline, it is 100% specifically and precisely made to fit our trans perfectly.

I know the guy who has THE 1st one in his car.

I have the Liberty 26 spline and it's perfect. I couldn't be happier w/ the design.

Ditto that....

stock 10 spline here....but when i upgrade during the engine rebuild i will be going with the Liberty piece...I have heard to many good things to stray to another company.

Gonna be doing the liberty input shaft in the next month or so..

Postban was one of the people i was speaking about.
Now my question is, why do some that have the D&D say this isn't true and the D&D unit is 100% made for our cars?
Is it both are made for this car and the people who bought the D&D are just saying this to justify them buying the d&d unit for more money?

D&D are good folks, never had a problem with them, good guys, friendly and knowledgeable.

:shrug:

Don't listen to that sarcastic asshole postban, he is full of shit!

............now in new bi-polar advice mode


...but seriously, go with Liberty's for the i/s

 

[Fast Willy]

they both fit perfect with these trannys.

 

[Grey03]

I have the Liberty unit, works great. Either one would be fine.

LOL :beer:

Anyway ... at what point is the 10 vs the 26 a real issue? Is this always a good thing to do no matter what power you put down?

Someone correct me if i am wrong on this...

26 spline gives more surface area to distribute the torque load, thus preventing or helping to prevent the input shaft from snapping in two... not needed but recommended if you mod the car or if you drive the car hard(powershift etc...)

Hey Guys,
Using the D&D one here. Works great. No problems

>450rwhp, especially if you ever downshift.

A friend broke his without ever putting a pulley on it, @400rwhp.

what about the Viper Input Shaft? Isn't that the Liberty 26-spline? or is that another one?

 

[predator]

They both work the same....one costs more than the other. Liberty made theirs specifically for our cars......D&D I don't know, but they do a lot of Viper retrofit for our cars. You decide.

Here are the two input shafts together. The D&D has longer splines. It really means nothing when you view the trans with the shaft installed and see how much actually extends past the retainer.

Here is a pic of the 26 spline and 10 spline comparison......

....I know the guy who has THE 1st one in his car...

yep, it's still going strong along with my SPEC3

.....The D&D has longer splines. It really means nothing when you view the trans with the shaft installed and see how much actually extends past the retainer

precisely...the longer splines mean NOTHING in our application

 

[esqeddy]

Both D&D and Liberty have back ordered the cores they use to make their input shafts with no projected dates of arrival.

Neither of these can be bought right now.

:-(

gonna go with liberty!
