       I have had my drive shaft out all summer. I'm sure it saves some fuel.
       How much maybe very small. The reason I took mine out was to find 
       a vibration, and do other much needed repairs,(including the clutch
       disc). Removal of the shaft also make turning sharp curve (like in
       a parking lot) easier.

                             NO


        But I built one.
        Want to buy it?
