Hi all I have a BF Tornado manual, and I got the driveshaft rebuilt today, (costing 950, is that reasonable?)
And the guy that did it recommended raising my gearbox to level out the angle of the shaft to stop the centre bearing flogging out because my ute is lowered, is this common to do this?

Because driving home I noticed my gear knob is slightly higher due to gearbox raise, and also a slight rubbing noise which irritates me as I like my F6 to be smooth! ha.

Just wondering on your thoughts!

I am getting new leaf's put in soon and getting the rear raised back up a little, and he said to bring it back and he will check the angle again for me, basically I just went with what he said because he is a drive line specialist, but my concern is the slight rubbing noise coming from my gear stick..

Cheers!

I suppose as long as the gearstick doesnt hit the roof it should be ok.

But seriously take it back so he can sort the knocking/rubbing issue.

Bet your shifter isnt higher than mine.

Ahhh the typhoon, nice!, But wow that's borderline roof scraping!, I prefer it lower :D.

Yeah it's weird, its only very subtle, normal person would probably never notice, ill see what he says tomorrow,

How long of a throw do you have?

Also what brand short throw/shifter kit are you using?

Here's one from left field - can the mal wood shifter be installed 'easily' with the box still fitted?

I did my old ute with the box still in, from memory it wasnt too painful...

Mal Wood with hurst stick.

Length gives leverage and strong spring centers shifter. So its smash straight up for 3rd and straight back into wheelspin.
