Hardened output shafts
I did a topic search on these and didnt yield anything except this provider: http://www.markwilliams.com/pdfcat/pg15.pdf
$590 seems a bit much. Any other recommendations out there?

Check out this thread: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=296917
Glen5839 have made a very strong unit in hardened 4340 steel which is much stronger than any other unit I've seen. I have one of the first made and it's a very high quality craftmanship.

From Metal Suppliers Online - Material Property Data Sheet
"300M is a low alloy, vacuum melted, steel of very high strength. Essentially it is a modified AISI 4340 steel with silicon, vanadium and slightly greater carbon and molybdenum content than 4340. 300M has a very good combination of strength (280 to 305 ksi), toughness, fatigue strength and good ductility. It is a through hardening alloy."

Mark williams is selling half shafts. The output shaft that most people break is what connects to the left side half shaft.
Two different products.

Re: Hardened output shafts (MattG)
Doesn't the output shaft go between the transmission and the differential??

Re: Hardened output shafts (MattG)
Just checked the manual(Volume 1, Section 4), half shafts are referred to as axle shafts.
One of the tuners at the last Route 66 Corvette show broke a half shaft/axle on the strip. The Mark Williams half shafts would be a good investment for serious drag racers and as far as I know Mark Williams is a quality manufacturer.
Matt, check with Nick at ARE, I'm sure he knows the name Mark Williams, it might be a product he would want to carry.

Re: Hardened output shafts (Arnie's C5)
Bottom line, what is the labor to R&R this output shaft? It might be more wise to just buy a new diff built with this 300m steel shaft?

Re: Hardened output shafts (The One)
There is, indeed, a transmission output shaft. However, the shop manual also identifies the shaft in the differential as an output shaft (if memory serves.) I had an image of the manual page and will post if I can dig it up.

Re: Hardened output shafts (The One)
Sure, everybody knows what #22 is! :D I didn't take a pic with the legend in it. I should have imaged it with a scanner it rather than a camera but Linux doesn't talk to my scanner. :( I owe you an email ;)
