Description
6-53-151 Midshaft Stub — 10 X 1.953 spline | 2.875″ spline length | 3.188″ butt dia | 5.156″ end-to-weld | fits 3.500 tube. Complete two-piece driveshaft center section. Verify spline and tube specs.
The 6-53-151 midshaft stub is the center section of a two-piece driveshaft — it carries the center support bearing and bridges the front and rear shaft assemblies. Spline count, spline diameter, and butt diameter are all spec-specific. The 6-53-151 midshaft stub won't fit a different tube OD or a different output shaft spline, and substituting a close-but-not-exact part will produce vibration that traces directly back to this component.
6-53-151 Midshaft Stub — Spline & Tube Dimensions
The 6-53-151 midshaft stub specs: 10 X 1.953 spline | 2.875" spline length | 3.188" butt dia | 5.156" end-to-weld | fits 3.500 tube. The butt diameter determines how the stub seats in the driveshaft tube — too loose and the weld joint runs off-center. Spline length determines engagement depth on the output shaft; short engagement under high torque loads damages the shaft splines before the stub shows any sign of wear.
When replacing a midshaft stub, measure both the tube ID and the output shaft spline count before ordering. Check runout on the new 6-53-151 midshaft stub before welding — a stub with more than 0.005" runout will never balance correctly regardless of how many weights you add.
