driveshaft doesnt fit my s14 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

sifu · 01-06-2006, 06:23 PM

while doing my manual swap.. my manual driveshaft isn't long enough.. is this due to the rear section of it?

is there anyway to make it fit? i'm thinking the rear drive shaft is abs while my car is non abs

dude, you got to use manual drive shaft with manual tranny. auto is bit longer

tailwaggin91 · 01-06-2006, 07:26 PM

I've heard different things. I also hear it depends on VLSD or not. A friend tried to use my old S13 tranny in his S14 (kinda funny that mine was in better condition) and the shaft was too long. He probably had VLSD. Don't really know for sure, but that might be part of it too. Hope you can figure it out soon.

is it possible to use a 95 non abs manual driveshaft on my 97?

the first section of the driveshaft is the same length on both manual transmission and automatic right?

and the 2nd section.. the manual ABS rear driveshaft is shorter than non-abs..

so i can use the 1st section of my driveshaft from my automatic with a used s14 manual NON-abs driveshaft for the rear piece?

projectRDM · 01-07-2006, 02:29 PM

No. Transmission splines are different. You need a manual driveshaft, ABS or not since the ABS is just a hair shorter it still works fine. Bolt it up to the diff, then put the carrier bearing bolts in.

aznrib · 01-07-2006, 05:35 PM

One quick qustion.... can you use a S13 tranny with a S14 driveshaft?

sifu · 01-07-2006, 06:56 PM

is there anything else i need to get besides the manual driveshaft or a manual transmission version of? like for the driveshaft to connect right (minor pieces)

On an S14, yes. Transmission is exactly the same fit wise as we've all said for the past eleven years. Chassis is what's different.

Search next time, don't be lazy.

sifu · 01-08-2006, 07:08 PM

is this the front or the rear part of the driveshaft?

are the Automatic carrier bearing bolts and differential the same as on manual so it'll fit on right?

projectRDM · 01-08-2006, 09:27 PM

Can't see the pic, but if you don't know which end of the driveshaft is which you need to stop what you're doing. That's actually pretty damn scary that you even asked.

And yes, the bolts are the same, you think Nissan makes a new floorpan for each model transmission to accept different bolts?

*SaintlyCharBoy* · 01-08-2006, 09:51 PM

sifu
that's the front half of the DS - the part all the way to the right of the pic slides into the tranny

sifu · 01-09-2006, 06:42 PM

is there something inside the input shaft that the driveshaft is supposed to go into? my tranny was stripped. i think this is the reason why my driveshaft isnt reaching

1mns13 · 01-09-2006, 10:30 PM

With the driveshaft in the back of the tranny, you should be able to see the input shaft in the bellhousing turning if you try to..

sifu · 01-09-2006, 10:42 PM

it doesnt fit.. it comes up short. theres like a bearing i'm missing or something

zenkicookies · 08-23-2007, 03:40 AM

yeah abs DS is a bit shorter than non abs, but not by much.

98koukile · 08-23-2007, 05:46 PM

Get a J30 vlsd w/ abs and it'll reach... done

aznpoopy · 08-23-2007, 06:36 PM

thread is from 2006

zenkicookies · 08-26-2007, 03:18 PM

im having the whole vlsd swap non abs driveshaft too long problem, since the drive shaft is 2 piece, and u need a shorter driveshaft (ABS) is it possible to just replace the rear half of your drive shaft with an abs rear half? or would u need to replace the entire thing???

i was going to disagree with you until i saw the "with cheese!!!" addition.

this sounds tempting. what kind of chees are we talking about? provalone maybe? better not be talking about american oil cheeze ><
