Smoother Performance and Faster Acceleration. The Ford Performance One-Piece Aluminum Driveshaft is engineered to be many times better than the OEM driveshaft. The one-piece design means less moving parts. This results in smoother power delivery without the necessary clunks and vibrations. The one-piece design also makes it lighter than the stock unit, which means less rotating mass which equates to improved acceleration. This kit is designed to eliminate the complicated and heavy center bearing to reduce the unsprung weight of your muscle car. This lightweight driveshaft also features a smaller 3.5” diameter design to provide additional clearance on lowered Mustangs. If you are looking to improve the acceleration, performance, braking, and handling of your pony car, start by getting rid of the stock driveshaft.
Excellent Quality. The Ford Performance One-Piece Aluminum Driveshaft is constructed from premium grade 6061 aluminum tubing. The 1/8” wall thickness of the tubing makes this driveshaft stronger and sturdier without adding too much weight to the assembly. It also features Spicer 1350 solid body universal joints that are meant to endure the rigors of hard acceleration. This kit is a great upgrade for stock or modified Mustangs.
Direct Bolt-on Installation. The Ford Performance One-Piece Aluminum Driveshaft is applicable to the 2005-2010 Mustang GT or Bullitt equipped with 5-speed manual transmission. This driveshaft is a direct bolt-on upgrade that fits cleanly in the factory location. You can finish the job in approximately 2 hours or less if you have access to a lift and some basic hand tools. Professional installation is highly recommended due to the critical nature of a properly installed driveshaft.

I weighed my old driveshaft and it weighed 35.8 lbs. The ford 1 piece weighed 20 lbs out of the box.
Finally an actual install video! Thank you Travis
Great video! Very clear and specific info about tools needed and step by step instructions. Made my installation relatively easy. Thanks Travis!
Nice video
amazing thanks for this install video I am doing this next week.
question... any specific reason you have 2 different tires on the front of the car?
The legend of Zelda tattoos my guy dope
My new aluminum Drive Shaft gave me an additional 25 HP to the wheels!
Did you dyno before and after?
@@djdirtydan3393 That was sarcasm. lol, I did replace the stock with an aluminum Drive shaft but other than reducing the rotating mass and weight I doubt that it added significant HP. It might have added 5hp do to the weight reduction but that's not worth paying hundreds of dollars for a Dyno to prove otherwise.
Great video step by step install awesome 👍 if you guys can do another with the Driveshop shaft for 13-14 gt that would be great
Same process
Is this similar install the same for the 07 to 09 gt500??
How much of a difference would it make at the 1/4mile
What is the size of the allen wrench you use?
how does it feel/drive?
Bit of an exhaust leak at one of your clamps? Good excuse for a Shiny new system! And nice video.
Is there a noticeable difference when driving with less rotational mass?
YES!
How much horsepower can it handled
Confused here. On the site, in a reply to an asked question, this driveshaft will not work with automatic transmissions, it only works with a Billet standard 5 speed tranny. I don't like two-piece driveshafts and I want to single one on my '07 S197 GT V8.
I have all of a sudden started getting steering wheel shape at about 50-55 MPH. I've had the tires checked. I brought the tires in for balancing and was told it was perfect. I have been trying to track it down for a while and coming up short.
Me too, mine rebuild was paired with a 3:73 rear gear upgrade and Ford Performance LSD. Now 3rd-5th gears at 60 mph I get a real nasty vibration like driving over rumble strips. Any idea how you solved your issue?
Is the vibration problems with the oem driveshaft or the new 1 piece?
@@dennislink1300 check pinion angle !
@@andrewslagle1974yep should have followed up on this months ago. The issue was pinion angle but caused from the rear control arm bushings. The bushings were old and had degraded and that was the +2 degrees that was causing the pinion angle to be incorrect. When it was on the lift it just compounded the issue and no one checked the pinion angle after dropping it back to the ground.
I hear some noise when accelerating from around the shifter area sounds like a hum gets louder as I accelerate harder stops when off the gas could that be the drivesfaft 05 gt convertible 50k miles
James Barker I have that noise too
Would this be compatible with the 2005-2009 V6 mustang? I’ve been looking for a driveshaft and have read about the GT and V6 driveshafts are interchangeable
no. this driveshaft is for just the gt models
Hi guys question I’ve heard people tell me that if I do this to my 2008 mustang gt that it will make a whining noise is this true
NO!!!!
Whats the problem with the oem driveshaft? Ford went though all that trouble of r&d to make a worse drive shaft?
When they ware the x3 joints get loose and clunk and vibrate ,also that x2 pc shaft (if your drag racing the car) is the weak link .We see the 2pc shaft tore out when you beat on the cars.Hope this helps!
Will this install be the same for the 07 to 09 gt500??
yes but trans has a slip yolk that just slides into rear of trans no bolts in the front!
Goldfinger-superman sounding song.
What is the allen socket size?
Nevermind, i read the instructions. It says m10
@@nortongarage5411 I never got any instructions and just bought this shaft, I really appreciate this comment! I am gathering everything needed for yet another clutch job. Those ford slave cylinders don't last long lol
Speaking as a Ford Tech of 21+ years, those bolts are a one time use, replace them with new ones. If you ABSOLUTELY need to use the old ones, use orange threadlock.
Does this fit a automatic
Same process different length shaft for auto than manual , but same installation!
Will this fit on a 07 v6?
Nope! This guy is only for 2005-2010 GT models. -Zach
@@americanmuscle so itll fit my 07 gt premium automatic
@trvsh boy did you find out if it fix your automatic
Get rid of the backround music. No genres, this is a mechanic's show. I'd rather hear the air gun!
Just did took 30 minutes
How u like it ?
Safety glasses young man. Rust or under car debris in your eye an be irritating. And can result in a trip to the hospital
What size Allen head is it?
8mm Allen head key !,,
@@rickeysweeney1174 Yeah the manual says to use 10mm but it is 8mm. I just bought the shaft myself
Too bad they don’t make a titanium driveshaft.
would be very expensive,,they have one made out of carbon fiber also
Guy enjoys saying shaft lol
No way that is 3 hours of work
Lmballsoff!
If you have a lift and an extra hand maybe
Right but thats what a mechanic will charge you.:
Music is annoying
So this doesnt apply to the 11-14 gt?
Unfortunately not- different transmission. We do offer several one piece options for the 11-14 on our site! -Justin
@@americanmuscle awesome thanks . I been looking to buy one , any chance of a coupon code I had one but it's not working anymore after a couple of years . Chris had given it to me
