    Size difference between AOD and C4

    Right now im running my stock AOD driveshaft with my big bell C4. i have an aluminum driveshaft i want to put in. Is the C4 shorter than the AOD? The aluminum shaft is about 1" shorter than the steel and I want to have the shaft legnthened, i just need to know how much. The stock shaft looks too short with the C4 already.

    The Mustang C4 and AOD trannys were the same length.

      Right now it looks like i have about 4" of yoke hanging out of the tailshaft. Could i get away with extending the shaft say 2"?

        You'd have to push the yoke in and see how far it goes...

          I read somewhere that the driveshafts are different, and you need to run parts off the other to make it work...

            I have an aluminum FRPP Mustang driveshaft. The driveshaft and yoke work with T-5, AOD, C-4, SROD... The yokes are 100% dimensionally identical between it and my CV AOD aluminum factory driveshaft.

              For about the 5th time I know what i need to use to make the driveshaft work. I just needed to know the difference in legnth.
