I have both. I did nothing to the driveshaft and I don't use Herman's lock
ring at the front splines of the shaft. I had the driveshaft balanced
without the ring attached, so when I attach it, the shaft spins off center
putting uneven pressure on the rear tranny seal causing oil to leak out. I
have the 3.69:1 diff but had a 3.92:1 before I changed. The higher ratio
one did not allow the most benefit from the overdrive tranny.

OK..........I need listers who have BOTH Herman's Toyota 5 speed
transmission conversion AND Goodparts' Nissan differential upgrade. You have
to have BOTH to respond and..........you need to remember! Did you have to
shorten your driveshaft to make it all work? And by shorten I mean CUT a
couple of inches off. If you did or didn't, what make model and year Triumph
do you have and what, if anything, did you do to your driveshaft. I've heard
both nothing and I cut 2" off. Oh yea....and whats the ratio on your diff?
I've gotten mixed answers on this from folks who have that combination from
Herman himself and Richard Good. So far there doesnt seem to be one answer.
Thanks
