Default For those who went GTE w/Aristo Auto trans...

Well i went aristo gte and stuck with the aristo auto trans this summer...the car is running excellent and purrs like a kitten, but i cant drive anywhere cz i have NO DRIVESHAFT!!!!

I was under the assumption that you can use a sc400 drive shaft and be good to go due to the "same" 3 bolt flange of the aristo/sc400 vs. the slip style DS of the sc300...

Well, i purchased an sc400 driveshaft and it doesnt fit!? the sc400 flange AND donut spacer is a tad smaller than the Aristo output flange and the bolt holes do not line up...and the same issue is apprent on the diff side.

Now call me stupid but i couldve sworn that a few members are running a stock sc400 DS on there aristo trans...what in the hell do i do?

Plz chime in with what is ur DS setup, as i am open to pretty much any option cz i want to rip this car up on the road soon, let me know whether you went custom, used mixed/match OEM parts, if there is a way i can still use my sc400 DS, etc...any input is much appreciated.

I think I read that you have to use the flange from the SC400 tranny as well as the DS itself.

Yep, just like the previous link said you need the sc400 trans output yoke. You also mentioned the same problem being on the diff side? The sc400 shaft should bolt up fine to the sc300 diff, mine did.

Concur. Sc400 output shaft is all that's required. Well, that and a 30mm socket, but you can borrow that.

Well I was wrong, I tried again and sure enough te diff side bolted up just fine, so I will head over to the Lexo dealer Tom to purchase the sc4 trans output flange unless someone on the board want to sell me one, anyone?
