seems everyones doing the opposite of what im doing after searching
so ive got a single cam KA and i swapped to a S14 tranny. but my s13 driveshaft is to short. i think i need an s14 DS but not sure can anyone shed light on the subject?
not sure if the car was abs or not. so which DS do i need or do i have to just swap the front section out of my s13 DS to get the extra Length?

You should be using a s13 manual driveshaft. A s14 driveshaft will not work in a s13.

The stock 5 speed driveshaft is to short. I'm not doing an auto to manual swap I just replacing the 5speed with an s14 cause I had a spare my stock tranny blew

When I did my swap I had to mate together a s14 and s13 driveshaft. I did a s13 trans to s14 so I had to use upper half s13 and lower half s14. So I'm assuming it would be the other way around use upper half s14 and lower half s13. The upper half of the driveshaft is the side that goes into the transmission.

What is the point of swapping to the S14 tranny?
