wow, that sux, its not totally necessary, but whatever caused it could be a problem... you need to find out how it happened, but as for getting a new one, best advice is to go to nissan and ask them, tell them what driveshaft its from and all...

Try nissan. If they say they dont sell it separately get an aluminum one-piece shaft. I dont remember which website i saw that was selling it for 460 bucks. Also check you input shaft for damage. The splines on the shaft may have been destroyed

I think enjuku racing may have the aluminum driveshaft

www.srswap.com has a custom alloy driveshaft. it's listed under clutch and trans, then differential.

the rubber peice is cake compared to checking out the input shaft, you gotta drop the tranny to check out the input shaft, you would prolly feel if u'r input shaft was messed up though...

I just realized we've been reffering to the output shaft as the input shaft. The input shaft is where the trans/engine meet. The output shaft goes to the driveshaft right? The output shaft wont come out on it's own. You gotta tear the tranny down and take the whole input/output shaft assembly out. they are linked together in the middle by a bearing.
