Im working on my project z32 2+2, rebuilding motor and swapping out the auto transmission for a 5 speed, i got the parts off another z32 2+0, just wondering if the driveshaft from the 2+0 will fit my 2+2?? :confused: it looks like maybe half inch smaller than the auto 2+2driveshaft.... thanks

No, it will not. The 2+2 and 2+0 have completely different driveshafts. Sorry, but you'll need a 5 speed 2+2 TT driveshaft. Z1 sells a driveshaft SPECIFICALLY for that application.

He should only need a 2+2 TT driveshaft if he has the TT rear end swapped into his 2+2. If he is still using the NA rear end, a manual 2+2 driveshaft should be what he needs.
