[Supras] 1 piece driveshafts??

[Walker2, Brian (Rich. Dist)]

Did it reduce any of the high speed vibration? I can't imagine any one piece
being smoother than the stocker with a good carrier bearing and u-joints. If
it's close though, half the weight would be nice.

The one thing I remember about dealing with JAWS during that issue was their
attitude that it was my fault it wasn't the correct length, even though I
ordered specifically for my 91T 5-spd (original equipment drivetrain) then
they turned around and modified the original unit that I returned which they
had told me would be replaced with a new one that was to have been shipped
immediately upon receipt of the incorrect unit.
I would have been OK with it had they negotiated that up front instead of
lying, delaying and blaming me for the mistake. 
On the plus side I have had no issues with the unit since it was
installed...

IIRC the difference tween auto and 5spd is two inches, so..they just got the
wrong tranny measurement for you..

40 -vs- 42 from yoke to yoke comes to mind.

I put in a 1 piece steel JAWS unit last year during the rebuild in hopes of
losing some of the high speed vibration and less hassle to install. I
ordered the 5 speed unit and it showed up a couple of inhes short. Sent the
shaft back with accurate length measurement of my stock 2 piece unit and
they spliced a piece in to make it longer, took about a week to turn it
around. If you buy one make sure you know the desired length....

Does anyone have experience with the 1 piece driveshafts available for the
mk3? I've seen the 'Jaws Gear' shaft and the 'Driveshaft Shop' both offered
in Steel and Al. I had read a while back that a problem with an Al.
driveshaft is that it does not dampen vibration as well as a stock shaft.
(I'm guessing this is because the stocker's rear section is 2 piece with
rubber isolation) Can anyone confirm whether a 1 piece steel shaft dampens
any better than an Al. one? I realize a carbon shaft would dampen better
than both but I don't have the funds to go with that option. 

Thanks,
Brian
