Hooking up a 1330 CV to 231...u-joint problem

Oh I can see it now...

Sorry Patriot, I had to say it

Let us know how it works out.

This is the one I'll be using, not completely the same, but similar.

it sounds like you've got your mind set, but i'm still wondering if you even read my last post. i guess the pictures didn't help. forget the 1310 to 1330 issue. its easily fixed with the bastard u-joint. forget the 2 slip issue. its not worth arguing with you about it.

MY POINT IS you can't hook up a shaft like the one posted above to a stock 231 yoke (it has full circles.)

to fit the u-joint from the shaft into the 231 yoke you must remove the centering ball apparatus. a CV joint won't work without this. take a look at your shaft and look at how the CV joint is put together. it should be obvious that you need a yoke that doesn't have full circles. you need the type that sandwiches the u-joint between the two halfs. but since you don't believe anyone, just go out to your jeep and try it. my prediction is that you won't even get a chance to destroy the shaft because it will never hook up. bastard u-joint or not.

Ok, If the compression on the shaft was not a lot, ie the shaft was longer then needed with the yoke on, I could see it maybe working. Lets assume that the shaft compressed is the length needed to get the tcase yoke in the stock position. Therefore it would not slide backwards and fall out! See! As for the CV shaft it is used u joint retainers and not the flanges like the XJ then it would go into the slip yoke. A lot of ifs but all add up to it possiably working. And as for POR! IMHO POR is a buch of asshat know it alls that do not remember when they were learning! ANd no I have not been chewed over there I avoid the place like the plague and JU bc of what I have seen!

That's about as useful as a body drop on the trail. Isn't the point of modifying something to make your rig MORE capable, not HANDI-CAPABLE???

Just when I thought this one would never die.....
