OK, here is what i got

I have a Manual Ka24de transmission going into my auto car. I have a LSD from a 1991 SE im going to put into the Auto car also...

So here is the question what drive shaft i need. One with ABS or one without ABS....????

The SE LSD rear end that the car came from has ABS but the car its going into the AUTO car does not have ABS. ?

If you could answer please I will be buying drive shaft next week..

from my understanding u dont need to get a new driveshaft as there is enough play for it to compensate for the 3/4" difference.

So your saying i can still use the auto driveshaft...? I just heard somewhere that you have to buy a manual shaft... do you know if anyone can confirm this or not ?

People do auto to manual swaps and dont have to replace the drive shaft. On the lsd part, I have put a 93 auto diff with abs on my 89 manual and it bolted right up but it is close, but no problem.

So your saying that I just need to put in the Manual transmission and the Auto Drive shaft will bolt up then. I guess ill try it I just didn't want to pull it apart to find out its a no go...

the auto drive shaft will not work with the manual transmission.

the input shaft of the driveshaft is completely different to go into the auto

what you maybe able to do is use the front section of a stock manual driveshaft and bolt it to the rear auto section.

i would much rather get the entire manual driveshaft since it was balanced together

i have done 2 5spd swaps personally
