Do I need to shorten the driveshaft to switch to a TKO 500/600 from a T5? I know there is a output spline difference, justa need to know if I need to get a shortened driveshaft? thanks

Bob Hanlon races what he sells. I've seen his early Fox Body Stang run at Cecil County Maryland...and he can shift a 5-speed! I've heard good things about him and he was a nice guy to talk to at the track.------------------

I had to lengthen my drive shaft when I went from a T-5 to Tremec.
