Hemi splined input shaft wanted

KRatcliff · 07-02-2023, 01:53 PM

I need a Hemi splined input shaft with a .585" (GM) pilot diameter. I struggle putting in my G Force using the plastic clutch alignment tool. I guess the fortunate thing is that I haven't broken one yet so I would have my own.

I probably jinxed myself.

I got a used input with a damaged bearing area from Jerico years ago. Either they or G-force might be able to sell you one. I also cut the heads off two long bolts to use as a pilot to help align and slide the trans into place on the bell housing. I cut screwdriver slots in the ends to facilitate removing them after the trans is installed.

I got a PM with a lead on one and I may call Jerico if this doesn't work out. I have asked Paul a few times at G-Force, but he hasn't been able to find a used or broken one in his shop.

I gave up looking for an input and just had a machine shop turn down a hunk of bar stock...you don't need the splines. Been using it for 10 years now. Just a thought.

I think that is the route I may go.

i did same, used aluminum shafting, no splines works great and cheap.

Rob Youngblood @ Advanced Clutches has machined aluminum clutch alignment tools with splines and interchangeable pilot tips.
