Experience with Driveshaft Specialist of Texas?
Has anyone had their Driveshaft rebuilt at Driveshaft Specialists of Texas? Considering using them to rebuild my driveshaft in hopes of getting rid of the worsening clunks and sloppiness. For $460 (including shipping) + core it seems like a steal while I await another GB for the CF Driveshaft. If it ever happens again..
Also open to other DS repair shops if anyone has any experience with other shops.

Did you diy the install? If so, any issues with fitment or bolts you needed to order separately?

I did self install I reused most of hardware but the crimp nuts on the transmission side. AutoZone or oreillys auto can order it. I got mine from auto zone and had them price match O'Reilly's and AutoZone don't charge for shipping. Make sure you order the correct one Mt/dct they have different part numbers. Also if you get it from a local parts store you can return it easy if you have any issues down the road. Last edited by Delete; 09-27-2021 at 05:14 PM.. |

I had been waiting on DSS to get a 6MT core but they are very hard to come buy, so I had a local shop here in Florida build me a new driveshaft with rebuild-able spicer u-joint. So far all is well.

Lots of shops can order kits from pti and assemble them. But it's more cost effective to just buy an assembled shaft. |

Purchased from Autozone with 20% off so came out to around $650 to my door in 3 days. Car feels like new again. Tested to 120 mph so far and not a hint of noise nor vibration. Clunks are gone and overall the car feels more engaged and less clunky. Couldn't be happier I went this route. Thanks guys!

But, for ease of install and a lifetime warranty if you buy it from Autozone/Advance Auto Parts etc. it’s a good deal.
