He doesn't have the front from the aristo, thats the whole problem.

 

The swap has already been done I've been driving the car around for a while now... I'm already on my 2nd driveshaft becuz the other one broke, and this one is starting to go bad as well, that's why I want to get and actual 98-05 aristo v300 driveshaft with the bushings.... and I have a GS300 not 400

Like he said ^^^^ "that's the problem" becuz I don't have the front part of the aristo driveshaft. that's what I want to get my hands on.

 

Oh well i dont know what to tell you but goodluck.

 

Thanks hopefully I get the driveshaft and it will cure my car haha

 

How did you manage to break your driveshaft? I'm still on my stock one and I'm pushing some pretty decent power out of me car. I also take it to the drag strip and launch it down the track. I think I put down around 700whp at 30psi, and that's running through the stock driveshaft lol.

 

Are you using a 6 speed tranny or and auto tranny? I have and actual aristo auto transmission, how did it break theres not enough shaft play i believe.. but when I took the driveshaft off it was broken from the middle joint and it wasnt re-buildable.

 

I'm using the OEM 5spd A650E auto trans, significantly upgraded of course. I had to go in a rework/rebuild the whole trans to make it accept my power levels reliably.

 

I wass told the 1st Gen GS driveshaft is a direct fit.

 

Okay your tranny is upgraded, I know that has nothing to do with it. But that's weird that you don't have this problem. Are you using the OEM bushings as well or did you do something else, I have a aluminum donut that has replaced my bushings cuz the OEM bushing from shaft to tranny doesn't fit. Do you have pictures or I know this is asking a lot but can you send me pictures of your set up. if that's okay with you of course.

I did not know that... Do you know or anybody here know if that's true. The only reason why I'm asking is because I don't want to buy one and it doesn't work or fit an that would be a waste of $$$.

 

When I did my swap, I took the tail of the Aristo transmission and the stock GS rubber isolator to a machine shop and told them that I needed to have both of these pieces be able to bolt together. A few hours later they called me to come and pick it up. They simply elongated the holes of the Aristo tail so then I was able to bolt both pieces together. You may be breaking driveshafts because you are using the aluminum donut. The rubber donut might help to eliminate that problem because it can absorb some of the driveline shock that it transmitted directly to your driveshaft by using the aluminum donut. Oh yeah, I don't know which driveshaft is a direct bolt on for this swap.

 

Yeah the aluminum donut is the problem. So does your car shake at all since you did that? You are using the stock n/a shaft right? To bad your in canada otherwise I would take it to the same shop that you took yours.

 

Im pretty sure there are 2 different rubber doughnuts one with a small pattern of holes and a larger one . Im not 100 percent as i did this along time ago. You can get one from a 1st gen gs300 and it will help convert your stock shaft. Its real simple.

 

The aristo trans is the same as the Supra TT so it has a different output flange on it than a stock 650 trans, that's why the oem driveshaft won't work.

 

So what do you suggest?

 

i think the us 1st gen gs300 ha sthe bigger set up that matches the tt ones
