DC5R · Nov 16, 2005

as long as you can get the driveshaft made the right length, it'll work

I just went out and measured the driveshaft. It is 37.5". I called Tom Woods up and they told me this is slightly longer then normal.

As long as you've got an NP231 in your XJ that's fine. The AA SYE is one of the more frequently-occurring replacements, along with PORC and JB Conversions. http://www.yuccaman.com/jeep/porc_sye.html

Thanks for all your help.

I have one more question though. What do drivetrain vibrations feel or sound like?

What do drivetrain vibes feel like? Ever been in a paint mixer? That's how bad mine were until I replaced my broken bellhousing and installed the PORC SYE.

Before that, and before my original RE Hack-n-Tap, I had minor vibes around 35-50mph. They weren't horrible, but were definitely noticeable especially with loose change in the center console. It would dance around and start buzzing more loudly as the vibes intensified.

Any vibration from the driveshaft or t-case can and eventually will destroy seals and bearings so I cringe everytime I hear someone say "they aren't too bad, live with it" when talking about their vibe problems.

The reason I wanted to know is because I **THINK** im only getting the drive train vibes between 55-60 MPH bad. I cant tell other wise. Im going to put some loose change in the cup holder to really find out, haha, thanks for the idea. The car has 201,xxx miles on it so im not really willing to chance braking something, even though it runs perfectly. I dont want to go ahead and spend the money on a SYE and Driveshaft if I really dont need to.

Will this SYE kit work?
