dont forget not to ship mine out. it will go out with the tranny, if your still doing it. thanks.

Yep. If you still want me to do it. When my little one was in the hospital, most everyone got pissed and dropped their orders. If you still want yours done, I'll be more than happy to do it.

As soon as your ready, just let me know. we went over the basics. if you could get me the quotes and suggestion for the torque converter, we can get that ordered and then go over the tranny build one last time. i think we had the street strip model and then a billet piece you suggested. also let me know where to send my adapter plate. just call me when you get some time.

They are done and I'm picking them up tomorrow. One of the guys in the shop severely injured his hand while making our shafts and things go set back. I'll post up pics, get the ones that are paid for sent out and everyone else that was interested, I'll contact you to get payment information. I wanted to make sure I had these in my hands before taking any more money from anyone.

I have a Ty which means that the output shaft on the transfer case is presumably 32 spline already? It is the Sy with the weaker 27 spline shaft right?

I see that you are making the billet 32 spline shafts for the 4x4 4L80Es that people are trying to install. Is this just for Sy owners putting in 4L80Es?

Basically, what I am asking is do I need one? My 4L80E was a 2wd rebuilt with the kit you sent me but I don't remember seeing this shaft in the kit. To be honest I am hoping that I don't need it but it is shiny and i haven't spent any money on my truck for a while :D

I saw you say you reckon the transfer case would go into the 7s so I guess I might not need it. I do need to understand it for my own piece of mind however if it isn't too much to ask!

Thanks for your time. I swear i saw a thread explaining this but I couldn't for the life of me find it...

the GB shaft is a input shaft, to use the 80e trans without a turned down output shaft, your kit has the turned down output shaft.

You cannot use this shaft with your setup since the 27 spline output shaft is already installed in the transmission.
This shaft goes in the transfer case in the FRONT.
This allows the OUTPUT shaft of the 4L80e that sticks out of the rear of the trans to be the stock 32 spline configuration. This new setup allows the use of a 32 spline configuration throughout the driveline in Typhoons and in upgraded Syclones that have gone to 32 spline transfercases.

George, when you get a chance, can you explain the differences between the TY and Sy tc? I have searched and from what I gather is that the Sy has a 27 spline output shaft and the ty as a 32, Is it truly worthwhile to have a 'ty' transfer case for the 32 spline output shaft?

There is one major difference. The Ty case has a longer 32 spline OUTPUT shaft and a LONGER tailhousing with larger bushing journal to accomodate it.
The stock 27 spline OUTPUT shaft is a ROLLED compressed spline piece so it will take care of most of the driver's out there. The 27 spline setups HAVE been twisted off by big HP guys that have transbrakes and do burnouts to heat the tires. Robert from Sweden reportedly twisted off a 32 spline output shaft, but after thousands of passes.
The 32 spline definitely told the direction BW was headed with this case but due to a GM deal with NVG, at the time, it never materialized.

I'm currently working on a transfer case output shaft that is 32 spline but is shorter and I am attempting to use the STOCK Sy tailhousing. I think this will make all of the currently undesirable Sy transfer cases again useful pieces.

I've been attacked enough recently. If you are reading this and do NOT want a 32 spline output shaft to replace your current Sy case 27 spline output shaft, please keep it to yourself. I'm just sharing something I'm working on with you guys. There will ALWAYS be those that want the extra cushion of safety and dependability.

I will go for this. A rock solid driveline gives me a piece of mind.

We'll see how it goes. They are very similar to an 80e output shaft. That means there is a large ring gear that engages a large hub with a snap ring. It's over 4" in diameter. That means you START with a large piece of material or a forging. A forging would require MUCH less work. But that's another conversation. Basically money.
