Oh I see - that brace is actually part of the driveshaft, and not an independent piece that you can just bolt back on. Correct?

I haven't looked at it in a while, but it has a collar. I think you can shave that portion off and be left with a little brace.

Thought about it as I removed it...

Curious to ask OP and others that got this...

Did you find you needed to play with rotating the back bolt position anyone to have no vibes or weird harmonics?

Mine was a straight bolt and so far nothing weird but a few I know are going through process of turning 90, then again and swear they have vibes so in curious...

Yeah no issues at all. Bolted it straight on. Victor is the OP but it is on our vehicle. He was installing his oil cooler or something while this went on.

Thanks a lot for the DYI! Just installed mine. So far everything is perfect, no increase in noise and or vibrations (although also installed Nameless FP/DP combo together with the DS which added loudness). The only concern, which mechanics pointed my attention to, is the lack of the protective cup on the carbon driveshaft. I allows dirt, liquid and chemicals from the road to contact the connection point of the DS with the gearbox, which is not good at all. They even recommended to cut the protective cup from the OEM driveshaft and weld it to the DriveshaftShop one. I declined for the time being but now thinking about protective measures for the DS... Let's see how it survives winter.

Pretty sure IIRC it was to help ensure everything is balanced. Less likely to have vibration should you go back.

Wish I would have known that before removing mine, lol. I guess if there is excessive vibration I would just have to unbolt the driveshaft and rotate to the next hole until everything smooths out?

I just installed mine! Thanks for the DIY! Only think I was wondering is the length of the four bolts do not thread all the way past the nut. The flange on the new drive shaft is about a 1/4 thicker making the old bolts just a tad to short. I can see a few threads on the left on the nuts.

Installed mine yesterday. Wasn't able to fit a torque wrench in there so I used a closed wrench to tighten it as much as possible. Has anyone been able to fit a torque wrench?

I thought I read somewhere that someone had to buy a completely new set of bolts due to this issue. I can't find the thread, but just out of curiosity, how much of a difference exactly? Pics?

You couldnt fit the torque wrench? I imagine that you simply rotate the it get to where you can tighten the bolts/ nuts right? Ive see ft86speedfactorys video and they made it seem like a piece of cake...granted...they also had a lift lol

Hello! from my ignorance of mechanical issues
a question .... OEM transmission shaft, consists of two parts and a rubber gasket ... right? why?
which is the reason why Japanese engineers (which should not be too dumb), make this piece into two parts?
