    Wow, I can't imagine one not coming out given how one of the axles I did shot out of there. I guess if it were completely fused together by rust it would be a possibility though.

    If you drill and tap the intermediate shaft for a zirk fitting you can use a grease gun to push the axle out quite easily. It works very well. :thumb:

    You just use modified stock rods which came in the car to shift the 555.

    I have heard that the parts store ones suck. They would probably be much cheaper and better quality if you get them from the JY. I should also point out that you can convert the 555 to be rod shifted...

    You can get the shifter cables out of any car which had a 555 or 520 in it. That's most 5 speed cars from 87 to 89.

    Do you have pics of the two? I thought the one in the omni which I stripped had the ears. I've seen both styles though.

    That makes sense too... I was led to believe that the int. shaft in my omni came out of a daytona so maybe that's true.

    I didn't know that. I would have thought the int. shafts would have been the same length and that they would have just made the difference up with the axles, but I guess that would put you at a...

    Some int. shafts are indeed the smaller spline size even if they didn't come in an L body. The 86' and earlier cars all got small spline axles. I found that out the hard way when I swapped the 523...

    No, I believe the int. shafts are all the same with the exception of spline size. It's the axle which is shorter.

    This thread has been hashed out many times before, but to reiterate my point...

    +1 to unequal length having no effect on torque steer.

    +1 to having a higher potential for parts breakage with...

    No they won't. Get some axles for a 90' omni with an auto trans. Even the guy at the parts store can't screw that up.
