Description
When upgrading your Sunbeam Tiger to a modern TREMEC TKO or TKX transmission, the factory driveshaft simply won't work. This custom steel driveshaft solves the compatibility and strength issues inherent with the original setup, delivering the robust power transfer your modified Tiger demands. Built specifically for Tigers fitted with TKO/TKX transmissions and axle flange rear ends, this isn't a one-size-fits-all solution - it's precision-engineered for your exact application.
The heart of this driveshaft is the Drawn Over Mandrel (DOM) seamless tube construction that's 15% stronger than OEM. DOM manufacturing creates a tube with superior grain structure and wall consistency compared to welded seam alternatives, with tighter ID and OD tolerances that make balancing easier and more precise. The 2.0" diameter provides the optimal balance of strength and weight for the Tiger's power characteristics. At the transmission end, a forged 31-spline steel yoke ensures positive engagement without the flex and wear issues common with cast alternatives.
The 1310 series universal joints are the proven standard for medium-duty applications, capable of handling the Tiger's V8 torque while maintaining smooth operation. The axle flange configuration eliminates the slip yoke connection at the differential, providing a more rigid drivetrain setup that reduces vibration and improves power transfer efficiency. Every assembly is fully balanced to ensure smooth operation across the RPM range.
This is a custom-built product requiring your vehicle's specific measurements for proper fitment. We tailor the driveshaft to the needs of your particular vehicle, ensuring proper length, angles, and phasing for optimal performance. Compatible with Sunbeam Tigers fitted with TREMEC TKO or TKX transmissions and axle flange rear end configurations. Made in the USA with lifetime tech support.
