I have a buddy that recently did I swap and I had never had this issue but Im trying to help him out. We can get the driveshaft in but it seems pretty tight...the driveshaft goes about half inch past the differential lip. Just concerned with having to jack up the diff just to make it fit? Thanks

Too long of a driveshaft? Usually, you have some play in there somewhere. My driveshaft doesnt go all the way into the tranny tail shaft, got about an inch or so of play.

Mine also does the same.

is it for an ABS car? the driveshaft and differentials are different for whether you have ABS or not, and not all S14's have it, assuming you are using the same transmission as well?

hey guys, i had the drive shaft shortened 1 inch last friday and everythings all good. my s14 doesn't have abs and the draftshaft that was ordered was the right spec but the driveshaftshop must have sent the worng one. i have an inch of play in the tranny now and my new spec clutch is in!
have a great weekend! i know i will :)
