Part 11 of the Volvo gearbox swap. Axle is back in!
With the driveshaft and Torque tube shortened, it's time to check them for alignment and get the rear end all assembled up and back under the car. Will it all hook up to the gearbox? let's find out.

WELL DONE, Mart. Thanks for making such a detailed video explaining and showing your problem solving techniques and knowledge. Lots of hands-on knowledge not written down anywhere. Thanks for sharing.

Mart is one of those old guys that every young kid with a slight interest in automotive and mechinal stuff should/would wish they had for a neighbor.

Interesting, looking forward to a test drive. Is the solenoid/OD just a simple on off affair?

Are you going to run this setup at Pendine, and also is Pendine a once a year thing?

Thanks Fellas. I will be running this setup at Pendine, but that will not be until next year as it is an annual event for the VHRA. I don't expect this setup to make the car faster, just better at driving longer distances.

Mart, I have been a fan of overdrive transmissions since I was young man (and that's been a while!). Good luck with your new "experiment".

Great job on fixing the runout, which was pretty darn close to start with: with heat and air.
