I have a Shelby Coupé CSC 9131. Now i need to now what type of drive shaft is in. The diff. is from a Camaro 2010. I think that the drive shaft is also from a camaro. The joints on mine are worn out.
Thx Axel

CSC or CSX? The 9000 series coupes are Shelby cars. But they don't use Chevy bits... How old is it? Must be something like 20 in order to make it into Europe.

The Shelby continuation rollers are delivered without a driveshaft. The driveshafts are supplied and installed by the owner/installer. So, there will be no "standard" driveshaft spec. The driveshaft is also dependent on the transmission length dimension, also not delivered with the roller.

You will need to measure the current length and the Spicer joint model numbers and order a custom driveshaft. The required measurements needed for the fabrication are as specified by the vendors such as Denny's or Inland Empire Driveline. They can tell you what to measure and then create the correct fitting driveshaft.

The drive shaft is not from a Camaro but was custom made to specs provided by the powertrain installer. Take you shaft to a decent driveshaft shop and they can replace/rebuild it. The lower cost solution is the better option here.

Do you have the Superformance Owners Manual?

Your actual differential is not a Camaro item per se as the center section was used in multiple GM products over the years, but it is a "Dana 44" (Dana-BTR) and that is what you need to state when speaking about it. Although, SPF also for a brief time used a "ZF" differential so you'll need to check the following url to see which one you actually have:

A loss in translation was apparent here, you need a "rear axle", or "half shaft", the question now is, do you need a left or right axle assembly?

In addition, SCOF has a list of other tech features, but you must join to access them.
