I have been sitting here thinking of my driveshaft spinning 8,000 rpm under
load, for a couple of minutes and wondering (worrying) about that tail-shaft
bushing. I have a Muncie M-22 (rock crusher) and was wondering how, or if,
you modify the tail-shaft bushing in anyway? I have seen pictures of
tail-shafts for many of the popular trans and they all have a hose clamp
around the bushing area? What is going on with the hose-clamp deal? Your
thoughts and ideas are requested and welcome :-) -Elon
You could go hi-tech and modify your tail housing for a needle roller
bearing. Cuts friction, maintains better alignment and won't fail.
My Nascar tranny has a plain bushing but it has a grease zerk feeding it.
Uhhhhhhhhh, hose clamp around the bushing area??? I've never seen that but
that doesn't mean anything. It isn't the muffler type clamp securing the
shifter mount plate to the tail shaft housing is it.
