Hi guys. Lot more experience with 3sgte swaps over here I believe
 Mine went in, and initially was using a s54 box with SSI drive shafts. These got destroyed, the drive shaft box end had massive movement after a couple of months of not super hard driving. Took out the s54 as well I bought a e56 plus shafts, but unfortunately this was non-working (only 3rd gear!). Another S54 went in, with more drive shafts, this time ones from a 3sge. One spirited hard drive and the drive shafts went again. More driveshafts going in so drivable, and no thrashing for a moment. Now, looking for a e56 with stronger drive shafts, know that's needed (for the LSD as well). HOWEVER....anyone been running the 3sgte with the normal s54 box and shafts, and has it been holding up any better ? Or are these just too weak. Sure I have read the standard box being used, including on 5sftes, and holding the power. Be interested to hear your experiences. This post has been edited by digs: Aug 28, 2014 - 3:38 PM |

An OE source for beefier axles would be very attractive to me. I can help but feel that that is my weak link at the moment, and I really don't want to source a set of used beams axles.. --------------------  |
