Auto to manual swap help please!!!

Post by Burrit-G802 »

I have a 1991 sedan with a 2.2na motor that my buddy and I converted from an auto fwd to a manual awd using a 2000 rs as a donor car. The RS driveshaft is to short though. does anybody know what driveshafts will work? All the local salvage yards are out of manual legacys from this generation. Would anything else work? Thanks...

It really has to be from a manual 90-94 legacy wagon or sedan. The 95-99 legacy shaft was close, but I had one pop out while driving in a bad neighborhood in Tacoma. The center diff ate itself within a minute, never to recover.

You can get them for just under $100 from junkyards that ship. I can provide you with a name if you are interested.
