5spd driveshaft question

[mmaxeyjr]

So I bought this drive shaft a few months ago from someone on nico here. I'm not sure of the name at the moment. But I guess some parts weren't included

My question is "I am missing parts off of that drive shaft, aren't I?"

Will anyone sell me these parts? Or am I better off just looking for a whole nother drive shaft? It's supposed to be non abs as well.

I just took a closer look at it because i'm ready to do my 5spd swap now since I sourced all the parts, and now I guess I have to find something else?

Pics:thanks

anyone??

your missing the front part that goes into the transmission.

just sell that to a junk yard and source another..that's what id do.

that looks a lil long tho.. for a 5speed.. but might just be me

[J240sx]

Im not sure but maybe that is for an auto 240. On my 5speed the part that goes into the transmission is a lot longer.

[mmaxeyjr]

yeah i dont know. i get this gut feeling that i got totally ripped off.

[mrgreeneyes]

yeah, youre missing the one end of it. we can hit a junkyard soon. or perhaps find something locally?

but to answer your question, you are missing something

[mmaxeyjr]

haha yeah i figured thanks

i'll just steal dougs

what do you think about Pennzoil syncro mesh? i couldnt find redline anywhere. i could get it ordered though, if it's really going to be worth while.

im using it nowand the only place i can find it is at autozone stores.

i have older friends that swear by it in there hondas/nissans/ toyotas ..etc..i havent had a problem out of it.

an alternative is GMs syncromesh gear oil that can be bought at GM dealers

[mmaxeyjr]

are you saying you're using syncromesh now? or are you using redline?

i dont see how they can make too much of a difference but if i can find the syncromesh fluid i'll most likely go with that b/c i've read on here and other sites that it's pretty good stuff.

[Beanstalk]

hey what kind of driveshaft do you need i have my D/S from my s13 5sp if you need it shoot me a price i dont know how much they go for ?

[mmaxeyjr]

i need the 5spd driveshaft non abs for a ka

[deuce4Oh]

yeah,you are missing the yoke that goes into rear of trans. mui importante lol.

[mmaxeyjr]

stupid people ripped me off

i've emailed a couple people on here that claim to have a driveshaft for sale. hopefully i can get one, or even just that piece.

if anyone knows where i can get one let me know

thanks

[nifares240]

just get a one piece and call it a day. with another stock drive shaft, you still have to worry about the center bearing being good or not. you don't want to buy a driveshaft with a bad center bearing. you'll mess up the U joints in the long run.

Im using Penzoil Synchromesh now.not redline

[mmaxeyjr]

alright thanks

i'm just going to use that then.

[White Comet]

good luck finding one, i'll keep my eyes open. I'd sell you one of my driveshafts, but one is for an auto and the 5spd one i'll be using. as far as fluid goes, i use royal purple for everything.

keegan, nice sig

If yours is auto now drop it to see if its the same length, but it looks like your missing the front U joint and spline. If you are you can get those easily. Plus you should replace the U joints anyhow.

[mmaxeyjr]

just picked this up, I hope it doesn't screw me over in the long run. it was sitting right next to some royal purple 75 90 fluid but it was $15.99 per quart. I was really tempted to go with the royal purple though..

did i make a bad choice?

im not running it for no reasoni took word from relics in the business

a friend runs it in ALL his transmissionsran it in all of his hachis( corollas) and beat the crap out of themHe and a few other guys i know swear by it. so i went that route.

if you dont like it order some Redline Syncromesh fluidcant go wrong with that stuff either.

ive been running it for about a month with no problemsi HATED the Motul i had in there before.

[mmaxeyjr]

yeah i've been reading a lot too. i've read that its pretty good stuff and is just as good as redline. so i figure why not. i think royal purple is overrated though.

it's worth a shot. $20.47 after tax couldn't really beat that either.

afaik they're different lengths. i shoudl have compared the 2 but i just threw the auto one in the trash

where can you find ujoints for this? i thought i had play in my driveshaft in my last hatch and i couldnt find ujoints off the shelf. i dont even remember these having them tbh. i gotta get back under an s chassis soon im feeling noobish...stupid winter.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Its a dealer or parts place part and you need to take out the clip and press them out with a press. They are 29.99 at Autozone, cheaper other places I'm sure.

I looked at some other pics, I don't know if the length is right without measuring them, but your missing the input spline. My guess is the guy you got it from unbolted to because he didn't know it just slid off the transmission spline. Probably had never taken one out before. Below is a normal S13 speed driveshaft.
