Drive shaft help

Searched for a bit but wondering which shift I should use

94 turbo wagon.
04 wrk rear diff
05 lgt 5mt


I thought the 05 lgt manual would work but the bolt holes won't match at the rear diff. Length seems good though. Not 100% sure the driveshaft is from the 05 lgt manual




Thanks in advance.

I'll continue with the searching. I know I've seen it

What you gotta do is swap the flange from your old diff to the new one. As far as I know you have to use the 1st gen drive shaft, because different body styles have different lengths.

Since you swapped in a manual, you need to use a manual 1st gen drive shaft as well.

Oh that's been done long time ago. Like two transmissions ago.

I have another drive shaft with the correct flange. I'm just gonna order another ujoint and swap flanges

Sounds like that should work.
