In the install video they have they say you have to flip it 180 or it will be locking the front. I would go watch the video on it.

Thank you. I didn't view the video until after I posted. Nevertheless, thank you for taking the time to reply.

I did read the whole thread and read that someone rotated their transmission 180 degrees. However, I just wanted to be sure.

Additionally, my employer blocks out most image hosting web sites, so I flying blind so-to-speak.

Anyways, thanks again for addressing one of my concerns. I appreciate it.

Just got my dig hooked up to my G6 Jeep. Pretty sweet and was quite easy to install. I am having two problems.

First being that my rear drive shaft is now binding up pretty bad. Already cut it down quite a bit, but it is looking like it is just the angle of the shaft.
Possible fix being to get longer upper contol arms and relieve that angle by rotating the axel. (anyone do this to a G6 with stock axels?)

Second issue is that the kit did not come with set screws to attatch the driveshaft to the output. I keep on dropping my rear drive shaft. If the above issues fix doesn't solve this issue, I almost think I am going to drill a hole through the output shaft and install the pin from the stock tranny.

Anyone shed some light on this? Anyone else put this into a g6 jeep yet?

I haven't installed my drive shafts yet so I can't comment on your first issue. Clocking the axle could help. Maybe someone else who has can chime in.

In regards to the second issue, Just use a set screew. If you don't have one, then make one out of the scree shafts (AXA0175) that come in the kit. I think drilling should be a last resort.

I hope this helps you.
 
Thanks trump. Anyone know the measurements for the rear upper links stock?

I have set screws in it now, on both sides of the shaft too, but it just keeps slipping off, would be nice if they left a little bit of a lip on the end of the output shaft for a set screw to catch on...

Might even start looking for some A.M. drive shafts that won't bind up at the angle it is on...
 
Yup, clocked the axel and driveshaft is happy. Now I just have to see if the shaft will stay on the output.

Have you considered making a small indentation on the output shaft? Maybe you could take a drill and make a very small indentation to prevent any slippage and help the set screw hold better.
 
That could work. For now I got rid or the worm set screw, and threw in a screw with a 2mm hex head, doesn't really seem tomind the added weight... See if it holds up.

As for the drive shaft, I got that fixed last night. Clocked the axel back a few degrees and it is as smooth as can be. Thismight not have been a problem with the JK because of the longer wheel base, but I think VP should make a side note that for theG6 the drive shaft needs to be cut and the axel needs to be clocked. Hell, add a couple longer upper links as an option on the website.

Oh, another issue I ran into was that after cutting my driveshaft, it did not slide very easily. I got my knife and cut the splines of the male end at the end of the shaft at 45 degrees and now it slides like new.

Just my .02

Good to know. I'm running Currie axles so I should be OK. Thanks anyways for the information.
 
Got my dig installed today, I plan to switch to an 11.4" wb and from the looks of it, it will not work with that?

What rig are you running it on? Not entirely sure on the situation you are in. My dig is working great now. Just got some longer upper links for the rear end, still have to trim some length off the rear drive shaft. But I cannot speak for the longer wheel base. I am running a 12" Wb g6...

I'm running curries at the 12“ wb and I'm gonna have to shave down the shaft so I dunt think I will be able to do a 11.4" wb with it
