O.K. Mini spooled my n/a with a 28 spliner.. best thing i ever did by the way..... buuuuuuuuuuut, my tail shaft has become all clunky like, i no its uni's but i wanna no if it was caused but the mini spool because of the increased pressure in the driveline... if so, would it b better to get a beefed up 1 peice shaft or is the vlt shaft already beefed up... (i have a na shaft if there is any difference)

The spool will eventually flog out the uni's and the seals on both ends of the shaft.

any way around this? a tuffer 2 peice tailshaft should survive longer than what mine has right? (1month)
