A fan would work but there's not a lot of room. I've been looking for the airflow 3d mesh motorcycle seat material to make new covers out of

Ive been chasing a noise for a while now. I was thinking it was in my transmission because it was only noisy in 5th gear and would go away when putting into 4th. turns out my slip yoke is bent and has probably been bent since day one cause it's in the wrong direction of rotation. All that black dust next to the caps is what's left of the needle bearings.  After seeing how close it was to failure I added a driveshaft loop also.









Went back to the driveshaft shop that built it to get replacement u joints and they still have my mock up from 4 years ago hanging on their wall of shame. The owner thought it was funny that I had no idea how to measure for a driveshaft.
