s14 ABS drive shaft

[sloweighty]

will a s14 abs drive shaft work for a s13 non abs and can i get a abs auto drive shaft and take the back half of it and swap it to the non abs manual drive shaft

[DMan II-40]

no, and no.

[sloweighty]

no, and no.

because i have a j30 vlsd and when i put it in, there would be alot of tension on the drive shaft, trans, and the diff so is that ok or am i going to have to find an abs drive shaft

Tip. Take your non ABS shaft to a drive shaft place and have them shorten it .80 in (20.3mm) and replace the U Joints. Paint and enjoy your brand new drive shaft for not much money at all.

but why do you have to replace the u joints.....i understand the first part but what about the second

but why do you have to replace the u joints.....i understand the first part but what about the second

so you can have fresh u-joints.

i'll take that s14 abs drive shaft of your hands if you dont end up using it

but why do you have to replace the u joints.....i understand the first part but what about the second

Because its the only part the really wears out on a driveshaft.

i also heard that you can use the non abs drive shaft and still be ok but is that true

[diggles240]

A non-ABS driveshaft is longer than an ABS driveshaft (15mm), so I do not understand how it would help your situation. Either buy a non-ABS m/t driveshaft or shorten the ABS m/t driveshaft as OutToWinPAHC stated.

[sloweighty]

then i wouldn't matter what drive shaft i am using then right because when i am connecting the drive shaft to the j30 vlsd i have to force it connect to get it to work

[OutToWinPAHC]

Well some people have no issues, some people get binding. I would try it and see how it is, if it binds then have it shortened or use the abs type.

sorry about all of the questions but it just doesn't benefit me, it is for everyone that will be searching for this answer.

i have tried the non abs drive shaft and it puts a lots of pressure on the trans and the vlsd but if the s14 trans can be put into the s13 trans (correct me if i am wrong) then why can i not use the s14 abs drive shaft

[diggles240]

Just look at the FSM for both the s13 and s14 and you will see the difference between both driveshafts. Here is a link to both FSMs:

s13

s14

At some point you need to read this and see for yourself. Not being a wanker, but this is self explanatory.

sorry to bring this back...my question is a bit different...i have an s14 non abs driveshaft... im selling wiht a complete 5spd swap...im wondering...if u swap the rear half of the driveshaft with the rear half of an abs drive shaft would that work?

[DALAZ_68]
