mk2 escort modified prop balencing

[dango1]

hi all

 

i have a modified mk2 prop running to a saph rwd 5 speed mt75 box and need the prop balencing. i have spoken to 2 companies who say they san't do it as the end that mates to the gearbox is a rubber type UJ joint.

 

i have been asked to get the shaft out of the gearbox and attach it to the rubber UJ for balencing.

 

 

is this right? i downloaded an MT75 gearbox PDF and it looks like a right hassel getting it out. Can't it just be balenced as it is?

surely the front flange isnt going to throw it out of balance at all, i had my mt75 prop shortened and never even needed it balancing

that might be true actually but i'm just trying to eliminate the vibration in the car. the vibration stays pretty much the same at all revs and speed. i know i need a new diff as mines completely goosed but as the engine is out i thought i would do the whole lot at the same time.

in that case remove the front uj and the splined section and get the part you have had shortened balanced on its own

you need to have the whole lot done mate because you had the front done it might throw the back out as i was told this when i had mine done and its the same price to do the lot as to do part the place i went was £60 mate for the balance
