I have a S13 and I am converting auto to manual with SR swap. Some people are saying use only the upper half of a manual drive shaft and others are saying use the whole driveshaft. I do not have ABS and i want to know if I need the whole driveshaft or just half and do I need the S13 ABS or non abs shaft? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

Your gonna need a s13 manual non abs driveshaft, the whole thing. It doesnt matter if it came from a sr or a ka as long as its a manual.

 

Perfect. thanks. And if everyone has one, let me know!!!

 

If you really want to get serious, get the aluminum one piece from Enjuku Racing or drive shaft shop. I got it and love it.

 

so why exactly do i need a non-abs one? wouldnt they both be the same length?

 

The actual points where the drive shaft mounts and lengths differ depending on Manual or Auto and ABS or Non-ABS.

 

ABS = shorter rear section
5 speed = longer (I think) front section

 

i have the drive shaft tip that you need. just undo the u-joints and put the new one on. thats what i did with mine when i did a s14 auto to s13 sr manual swap.

if u have a non-abs diff then u need the non-abs drive shaft same thing with manual and non-manual tranny and use the whole damn thing dont listen to those people that say use have the sh*t

 

Cool. Thanks.

 

ive used ABS driveshafts. no real difference. just use an S13 5 speed driveshaft.
