its fine

you could have an ABS D/S in a non ABS chassis

other than that you have more than enough of the D/S shaft in the tranny

is the car on the gound in the pics?

When you lower the car on the ground it will push the D/S a little more in to the tranny

i doubt i have a abs d/s cause i bought the car from the original owner which was a old lady, she left the car bone stock when i got it...the car is in the ground in the pics...you think i should put the dust shield on it to protect it from debris? i still have the sr one and i could trim it to size to make it fit.

After searching around I found out that I do have a abs driveshaft in my non abs chassis...I heard it will fine but the only thing is that i can't punch it when I'm driving it...is this true? Would I be better off getting a non abs driveshaft to be safe and avoid any damage to the driveshaft or tranny?

seriously dude? How is the SUSPENSION of the car going to push the DS into the tranny more? The diff is connected to the FIXED subframe, which is connected to the FIXED tranny mount. If you have that much slop then something is very, very wrong. I wouldn't drive my car like that, but it's totally up to you. I would get the correct driveshaft and DO IT RIGHT the first time.
