It locks in to the oil filler cap and extends up. Won't fall off or move. No fear of spills and lets you dump quarts with ease.

Here we go! Carbon driveshaft going in.

roastbeef · 02-02-2017, 10:59 AM

Already making a trip to sears for a 16mm socket. Not sure why my socket set skips from 15 to 17mm. Going smooth though, not too much cursing coming from under the car.

Ha, sounds like me. I can't do any work at home without at least two trips to Home Depot. One to get the stuff I need and another to get the stuff I forgot in the first trip.

You may have a standard equivalent?

5/8 = 16mm.

Now I have to go check my socket set and see if they did the same thing (omitted metric sizes where they are the same as SAE).

Had to strip a weird ass torque star. Fml.

E torx socket. They strip easily with regular sockets. Looks like E14 or E16

Once i stripped it more with the next size up, the correct size went on deeper and I got it off.

roastbeef · 02-02-2017, 02:56 PM

Obligatory weight pics.

roastbeef · 02-02-2017, 03:01 PM

Prepped to go in!

roastbeef · 02-02-2017, 04:47 PM

Well I'm stuck... solid diff bushings make for a ridiculously tight fit. I could probably hammer it in, but for obvious reasons, I won't. I tried lowering the transmission, but it's not enough. Anyone have any ideas?

scotty_miller · 02-02-2017, 05:37 PM

Loosen the subframe. It'll let you move the rear end of the car around a little

roastbeef · 02-02-2017, 05:44 PM

I was about to give up and put everything back because I don't have the proper tools or knowledge to drop the subframe. I jacked the DCT back up to put the oem shaft back on and the carbon shaft slipped into place!

Woot! That's the best surprise. good work. Must have been the angle?

Don't you love it when life throws you a freebie that only you can appreciate

Maybe there should be a Facebook live broadcast for the DIYs and get immediate help/ feedback
