(03-07-2018, 01:36 AM)R-3350 tentative update on the flex discs. got them installed along with a new driveshaft and center support as my old driveshaft had a failed u-joint as well. i only had to remove one bolt out of the front flex disc to pull it off the trans flange. it had torn the disc till the steel sleeves were hitting each other. the new ones are working so far. still have some vibration especially over 60 but it quites down around 100. i suspect that might be due to them not being balanced plus the added weight from being a larger diameter and aluminum. when i made them i realized a couple of ways i could improve the design for the next set so i may make a few more generations of prototypes and test them. if this all works as i think it should i should be able to make them in any flange size for anyone interested.
Neat. Would be nice if they didn't shake though. Did you line up the driveshaft marks? Apparently not aligning the two halves properly can take it out of balance.
My goal for the w124 wagon is to take the driveline out of a V8 w140 and modify to suit. I already have an extra 2.24 rear from the e420 (switched to 2.82), so maybe that will make gears 1-2 more usable and give me the eight hole flex discs also. I would need the four bolt yoke for the transmission however. Then I would get a set of v8 non-ASR half shafts to sub for the less beefy diesel ones.
