ok, so maybe I can save a couple hundred bones and install myself... but is it still worth it if I'm not going to feel the difference on the street? I'm not trying to be difficult, I honestly want to be convinced that this is worth it.

I'll be in too. I'll get with you on payday.

Mickey, I'm considering buying a Spydershaft as well. I'm new to the board and the SN197 gang; we just bought a 5100 mile Mineral Grey '05 GT Vert to go along with (ok ok...soon to replace) our Mineral Grey '01 Cobra Vert. I have a couple of noob questions for you and/or the group. First, it was my understanding that the pinion bearing pre-load could only be done with internal differential out of the car...is that not true? Second, and probably a D'Oh! because they frown on all non-FRPP parts mods; does Ford consider this mod a drivetrain warranty killer?

I am not 100% on the Ford warranty issue. I will check and get back to you. Here is a link to the directions: http://spydershaft.com/docs/Instructions.pdf

quote: ORIGINAL: 06Saleen3V Just got off the phone with Ron. Here are some questions we cleared up... Any problems with the aftermarket shifter? *The only aftermarket shifter that the Spydershaft is not compatible is the Saleen short-throw* How much of a difference is there from the 1330-Series U-joints and the 1350-series? *The 1350 series are said to hold twice the ft-lbs of torque. The 1330's are said to withstand 120-140 ft/lbs, but can most likely handle more. The 1350-series are an additional $120.* Hello all, newbie to this site. Another mustang site told me about this group buy and I am most likely interested, but like others it would be later this month. What about a Saleen short throw adaptor? What amount of torque is typically applied to the shaft? My question ultimately is, is the 1350 worth the extra cost. I dynoed my car and got 303 rwhp and 309 rwtq. I am keeping the car NA, so is it worth the extra $120. I can use the $120 for the loops or other upgrades if not necessary. Just because I am new I posted a pic of my GT.

Devil Wolf -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/18/2008 1:29:00 PM)
do i need to repalce the pinion flange on my v6? i thought ours were direct bolt in but i want to make sure before i buy.

06Saleen3V -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/21/2008 1:21:01 PM)
Devil Wolf, the kit comes with a new pinion flange so you will not need anything else. Kluski, you will be fine with the 1330s

JGT -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/21/2008 4:01:10 PM)
quote: ORIGINAL: 06Saleen3V That is correct, it does come with a new flange. I would say the average shop would charge you 3 hours of labor, so 3x whatever their hourly labor rate is. It is a simple job if you want to save your money. It does take 2-4 hours but without difficulty Sutton quoted me only $80 for the install. I'd previously heard this was an easy job, maybe 1 hour if you know what you're doing. Is that unrealistically low?

MustangBatman1 -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/21/2008 4:32:28 PM)
I don't think thats too low. It's like you said, its about an hour install with the right tools (aka a lift) and decent shops usually charge between 50-100 per hour.

Larmo -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/21/2008 6:12:33 PM)
Still wavering... would love to hear from those that have already installed it. Does the car feel different? More responsive?

06Saleen3V -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/21/2008 6:45:29 PM)
Larmo, I have probably seen 20+ threads of just Spydershaft reviews of astonished customers...use the search function and check them out

buffguy -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/21/2008 11:02:49 PM)
first link don't work

Intervention -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/21/2008 11:19:31 PM)
I am 99% in for buying one by friday this week the latest... Is it ground shipping? And... are loops required to run at a Dragway if you have a modded DS? of does it go from 12.99 or quicker need loops... do they even check?

Larmo -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/22/2008 1:39:32 PM)
I love being told to use the search function.

mach1351 -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/23/2008 1:54:41 PM)
Mickey, Great deal, count me in for one also. Need it for an 07 Mustang GT manual. I will call you tomorrow to place the order. Thanks, Jay

vistablue2007 -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/26/2008 3:42:34 PM)
BUMP

Maverickaf17 -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/27/2008 6:05:00 PM)
I have a 2005 V6 with X-Charger. If I buy one, I heard I will be able to go OVER my 120 mph speed limit and up to 160 mph safely. Is this true?

Larmo -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/29/2008 5:20:04 PM)
Mickey, so is tomorrow (4/30) the last day for this group buy? Thanks,

Kluski -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/30/2008 9:13:18 AM)
I put my order in. Do we get a confirmation of when they ship?

Larmo -> RE: *Group Buy: Spydershaft Aluminum D/S* (4/30/2008 5:42:05 PM)
Mickey, if you can extend this a few days I will be in.
