Are you eager to get more from your vehicle? Upgrading your tailshaft is one of the best ways to boost your car’s performance.
A high-quality tailshaft upgrade can dramatically enhance your driving experience by improving power transfer, handling, and overall vehicle dynamics.
Let’s explore how GJ Drivelines Keysborough can help you achieve this.
When you think about boosting your vehicle’s performance, upgrading the tailshaft might not be your first thought. However, it’s a crucial component of your car’s driveline system.
The tailshaft (or driveshaft) is responsible for transmitting power from the transmission to the differential, which then drives the wheels.
Investing in a premium tailshaft can make a noticeable difference in how your car performs.
A performance tailshaft optimises the transfer of power from your engine to your wheels. This means quicker acceleration and a more responsive drive. Lightweight materials like alloy or carbon fibre can reduce rotational mass, resulting in more efficient power delivery.
A lighter tailshaft reduces the overall weight of your vehicle, which can lower the centre of gravity and enhance stability, especially when cornering. This is particularly beneficial for high-performance and racing cars.
Performance tailshafts are built to withstand higher torque and horsepower. Upgrading to stronger materials, such as carbon fibre, ensures your tailshaft can handle the demands of a powerful engine, reducing the risk of failure and extending the lifespan of your driveline components.
When you decide to upgrade, it’s essential to know your options. Here are the main types of performance tailshafts available:
Alloy tailshafts are lighter than steel, making them ideal for performance applications. They offer a good balance of strength and weight, enhancing acceleration and handling without sacrificing durability.
Carbon fibre tailshafts are the top choice for performance enthusiasts. They are incredibly lightweight and strong, providing the best performance benefits. Although they come with a higher price tag, the investment is worth it for the substantial improvements in power transfer and handling.
Steel tailshafts are heavier but very durable, capable of handling significant torque. They are an excellent choice for heavy-duty applications and vehicles requiring a robust and reliable driveline component.

Note: Transmission slip yokes are manufactured with various U-Joint Series. It is important to match Horsepower and Torque requirements to U-Joint Series. For aftermarket transmission applications usually a spline count and seal diameter will identify slip yoke required.
If Pinion Yoke has Placement tabs that retain the U-Joint, measure inside tabs. See Diagram D.
If Pinion Yoke does not have Placement Tabs that retain U-Joint, measure from flat of yoke inside to inside. See Diagram E.
If 4 bolt Flange is used on pinion, measure Pilot Diameter and center to center diagonally bolt hole to bolt hole. See Diagram L.
Universal Joint Size. There are hundreds of U-Joint sizes or “Series” to accomodate many different applications of power and desired longevity for your automotive, 4×4 truck or auto racing requirements, these 4 series of joints cover most needs.
1310 Spicer Series: 1 1/16″ Cup Diameter (Dim C – Diagram A) 3 7/32″ length (Dim B – Diagram A) Certain Ford applications have 2 cups 1 1/8 Diameter. Appropriate horse power range is up to 500 in circle track or road racing, small tire drag racing and 4×4. Also available: Performance Dynamic Cryo Joint.
1330 Spicer Series: 1 1/16″ Cup Diameter (Dim C – Diagram A) 3 5/8″ length (Dim B – Diagram A) Certain Ford applications have 2 cups 1 1/8 Diameter. Slightly stronger than 1310, Used in 5.0 Mustangs. Also available: Performance Dynamic Cryo Joint.
3R Saginaw Series: 1 1/8″ Cup Diameter (Dim C – Diagram A) Retained with internal clip 2 5/8″ (Dim B – Diagram A). Most common GM joint. Horse power range up to 700 in road racing and circle track. Solid drag racing U-Joint can accomodate most sportsman classes. Also available: Performance Dynamic Cryo Joint.
1350 Spicer Series: Manufactured with OEM tolerances and treated with our Cryogenic Process to yeild the strongest U-Joint available. For drag racing applications a solid non-lube design U-Joint is recommended because of the tremendous initial shock load, or short duration of high torque the joint must be able to withstand.

If PST is supplying you with transmission slip yoke and driveshaft measure Dim X. See Diagram N.
2 Piece driveshafts use Dim Y + Z. See Diagram N.
