I'm not sure what the policy is here for bumping old threads. Apologies if I should have posted in an old thread of mine.

I found a post on here from 2011, which said "If the bearing surface on the bell housing end is torn up Simon/turbovanman offers a repair service that puts a sleeve on".

I have this issue. In 2016 I had a supposedly reputable race engine machine shop weld and surface the bellhousing beard end of the intermediate shaft. A few people on here told me it didn't look right. Wish I would have listened. Bottom line - there's a huge groove worn in the shaft from the bearing rollers. I haven't pulled the bearing yet, but I believe it is undamaged. The diameter of the damaged area is 1.322".


Here's the link to the entire album for this repair - https://www.flickr.com/photos/75619516@N06/albums/72157664552439277

Simon/turbovanman - are you still repairing these? If so, please let me know your fee. I will strip everything off the intermediate shaft before sending it.

I have another intermediate shaft, but there's unfortunately a few areas in the and pinion gear which make me not want to use it. Perhaps I could also send that in for you to inspect and if it looks usable, I'll pay to sleeve them both.

Currently, the car is making 270HP at the wheels, but this was with a very sub-optimal tune, and only 11PSI boost. My goal was always 300 at the wheels. The one trip to the dyno killed the transmission.

Thanks in advance.
