New driveshaft?

[streetshark]

I am going to be doing a S14 blacktop swap into my 95 SE. It is a non-ABS, automatic. I am doing a manual conversion though. The shop thats doing my swap said that i need a different driveshaft do to length differences from manual and auto trannys. Any truth to this? Also, if anyone knows who has some S14 clutch/brake pedals, that would be great too.

Thanks,[email protected]

everybody will tell you to search but yes you need a 5 speed driveshaft as for pedals you can get them out of the s13 or the s14 it doesnt matter they both bolt up

ill second that , its not only the length but the yoke or whatever its called that goes into the trans is not the same. you can buy just the front half of the driveshaft from a manual car and be good thats what my friend did on his.

you know, since you need a new driveshaft, you might as well as go with an aftermarket one. Especially if you plan on getting one down the road.

I'd highly recommend getting the aftermarket driveshaft. The U-joints in our driveshafts don't exists. If you pick up a driveshaft at your local junk yard, you will eventually have to replace the U-joint especially if you're making decent power. The aftermarket driveshaft will also eliminate the center bearing, which tends to flex under torque loads. I'd recommend getting the aluminum driveshaft. I had a driveline shop custom make me an aluminum shaft with the yokes of a Chevy truck, it's twice the size and ridiculously stronger. Well balanced. Price should be around $400. Good luck.
