Ford Racing parts one piece driveshaft for 2011-14 V8 Mustangs

[docs302]

DS and MGW install went smoothly. With the exhaust and DS out of the way the shifter install was a piece of cake. I can't even begin to describe how much better the shifter moves through the gates. You just move your arm and it snicks right in to the next gear.....up or down. The best $500 ever spent.

With the FRPP shaft I was concerned that the pinion flange did not have any type of spacer to mate to the differential like some other brands but it seemed to fit perfectly once I bolted everything down. The U-joint made trying to tighten the flange bolts and hex cap bolts a PITA as I couldn't get a straight line with a ratchet or air gun. I didn't have a ball end hex key so I had to go at it with a small hex key.....then I went to Sears and bought the right tool....for next time.

Can't wait to drop the car and get it on the road.....more to come.

can anyone confirm that this driveshaft will be ok with use of MGW race spec shifter? thanks!

Should fit.

Drop George a email.

He is always available to talk product with car guys.

Just had the shaft installed a couple weeks ago and I'm using the MGW Gen 2 with the Blowfish bracket. No fitment problems. I will track test in a couple weeks but so far no increased vibrations at highway speeds.

Have you noticed that things are quieter?

Overall noise seems a bit less after the drive shaft install. The gear whine has diminished and clunking sounds from loading and unloading the drive train are gone.

Yes, it will fit just fine. Remember the FP 1 piece Aluminum DS is 3.5" in diameter. Also I have a 4.0" AE DS and the MGW from 2011 and my new MGW Race Spec v.1 shifter fits just fine with no clearance issues.

I like the new FP aluminum DS design with the slip joint at the transmission output shaft. There is more space between the exhaust pipes and the rubber coupler on the DS. My 3.0" pipes get awfully close to the rubber coupler at the Diff end.

You should really like the DS and improved throttle response on standing starts.

Good luck,
Dave
