A round tuit
After three years I finally found one. I’ve had the issue of gear oil migrating from the rear end to the transmission on my AV8. The torque tube has been shortened, center bearing taken out, and a slight rake. All of which contributed to this problem.
I bought a seal set up for the rear axle about three years ago and I’m finally putting it in. This seal was fabricated by Bruce’s Rod Shop in Spring, Texas. I hope it will finally cure my oil issue. The seal rides on the smooth part of the driveshaft. |

A round tuit. My wife bought me one of those awhile back, works great
That setup should solve your issues. I've seen guys that use this and it does the trick. |

Re: A round tuit
So no "mid" drive shafts bearing with the shorten tube?

It's a one piece unit with a flange that bolts between the banjo and the torques tube. I painted mine red. |
