Spicer U-joints
Reading some old posts I understand i need:
QTY 4 5-800X for the halfshafts
QTY 2 5-786X for the main. Enduron coated, no grease fitting joints
Are right these codes?
Could someone buy these ujoints for me ...putting in a box and ship to me in Italy?
It's NOT a "simple to find" product available at summit or jegs..
Thanks

I'd be glad to also. I can get a pretty good deal here locally on them. Let me know what prices you come up with.

Are the half shaft u-joints the same for auto and manual 6 speed? I have detected hints that they may be different while searching, but this may be for earlier generations. I have a 92 6 speed and tore out the half shaft today.
BTW - Thanks to Scorp for the documentation
Sounds like Tom's Diff's is closed or changed hands - web page has 2003 catalog, so where does one order these puppies? Spent an hour googling and really didn't find anything that I trusted was the right part.
Thanks

RedC4, thanks I bumped into that page while searching. Looked like they only sold whole shafts. Maybe I'll give a call monday if I can't find a place to order on-line.
CentralCoaster: Does the gear shop have an on-line store or website? I tried to google them and found a bunch of sites selling hip hop clothes and other nonsense.

I found some zerkless Brute Force's at the local autoparts store. I don't punish the car or race so they should do me fine.
Man it was fun getting the old spicers out. Let a bunch of WD40 soke in. My first attempt I tightened the most I could and nothing. The I got put a pipe over the vice handle, and the tourqe cracked the work table the vice was bolted to.
So I moved the vice to a new table and tried again, the pipe just bent the vice handle. 14 years of metal being married to aluminum wasn't going to seperate easily.
FInally I took an oxegen torch to it, that finally did the trick. Scorp made it look so easy
The rest went smooth and I am on the road agin. Thanks for the help. Sorry for hijacking your thread conv90
