I know I'm not the only person who's having fun with the driveshaft and guibo olympics. Reading around suggests that they're probably the most common single opportunity with these cars (besides rust). Between versions, compatibility, parts availability and so on, there's enough joy that anyone can play.
A sticky thread could be a one-stop shop for people (especially newlies like me) who have driveshaft/guibo issues and questions. Even an extended archive search gives inconsistent results in important areas.
For instance:
Updating a sedan driveshaft requires a new clutch yoke (known), but may or may not require a different flywheel. I've found both answers in the archives.
Descriptions of the different versions of the Alfetta driveshafts. Better yet, pictures.
Can a Milano shaft be made to work? I've found both yes and no in the archives, and no information as to how.
If nothing else, a sticky could reduce the endless "driveline vibration help" requests from rookies like me.
I haven't gotten my vibration cured yet, and I got a new mystery. How did the clutch yoke on a "C" title '76 sedan get double-nutted?
