shorty glide to std tail shaft

(1/4) > >>

noslin:
first, i dont know anything about glides...   an old freind seen me posting on FB about selling some of my vw parts so i can buy a PG.  he had a RED and just recently sold it.   had a spare glide but its a shorty.   so, what has to happen to change it to a normal tail shaft?  does hte output shaft change.   he didnt know much about glides either.   he's going to send me the specs on it and ill know more about it.

thank you
dean

Unfortunately it's hard rivited to the planetary gear set

bikeguy307:
To convert it back to a std length trans the planetary will need changed along with replacing the shorty cover with a governor support and stock extention housing.

noslin:
shorty glide isnt typically used in a fed right?

coupemerc:
Using a shorty glide in a FED is completely acceptable. It gives you the ability to make the car lighter and it makes installation and removal from the car a bit easier. The two quickest Jr Fuel cars on the planet (Parks and Darcy) use a shorty kit. Mine has a shorty kit too.
