    4l80e input shaft Group Purchase

    Re: 4l80e input shaft Group Purchase Guys. The local shop that said they could cut the blind internal splines have backed out. What sucks is that every few days I would get a txt stringing me along saying they are so busy but will give me a quote the next week. I'm so frustrated with these...

    Re: 4l80e input shaft Group Purchase 1. I have a little more news today. The cut internal splines will be of the involute internal type (this is the strongest variety). I've been thinking about the 4340 300m and Maraging steels in comparisons of hardness and strength. They are about the same...

    4l80e input shaft Group Purchase

    Re: 4l80e input shaft Group Purchase Guys, There is no reason to get upset here. I havent forgotten about the shaft but please understand that making 40+ shafts is a BIG deal. First of all 4340 300m steel isn't something you pick up at your local metals supplier. It's special order stuff and...

    4l80e input shaft Group Purchase
