Re: Intermediate shaft/jack-shaft
There should be some of Brian's in the Bfest pictures, unless you're specifically looking for a V6 one.

Re: Intermediate shaft/jack-shaft
Found some pics of the stamped steel bracket one. Also iirc you can swap bearing mounts between the 2 shafts.

Re: Intermediate shaft/jack-shaft
That aluminum housed one also uses a weak aluminum bracket to attach to the block. I have fount many of them are cracked.
Yes there is a bare shaft with a stamped steel bracket. I have found this on both berettas and j-bodies. It is better than the aluminum housing one but not as nice as that cast bracket. Mine failed on me once, but after some gussetts it seemed fine.

Re: Intermediate shaft/jack-shaft
that's the stamp steel POS that was on my car, I wish back when doing my 5 speed swap the 1994 cavalier shaft was acquired. Its so much beefier!

Perfect for leaving the gayrage, doing burnouts and then going back to the gayrage.
Re: Intermediate shaft/jack-shaft
Just dont do right wheeler pealers with the wheel turned too far or the stamped bracket will pretzel and the bearing/axle slides apart. Some guy I know did that

This is one of the reasons mine has a fabricated steel bracket now...Barry wrote:That aluminum housed one also uses a weak aluminum bracket to attach to the block. I have fount many of them are cracked.
