Hi Guys,
 
Apologies for you receiving a post from an ex-T3 owner who didn't keep
the faith but some of you might be interested in this new invention that
is now just starting commercial production.
 
The Thompson Coupling is a frictionless replacement for Uni and CV
joints that requires no maintenance although I am sure the initial cost
will be higher.
One day you might be able to retrofit these to your transaxle and enjoy
no more broken boots, vibration or repacking with that awful moly
grease.
They look pretty cool too...:-)
 
See the link below. There is a good video of the coupling in action also
there if you scroll down and look on the LHS.
