i swapped my 240 to a 5 speed only concern i have is the driveshaft where it meets up with the tranny it looks like the dust cover is rubbing the tranny. i could be wrong but idk how close its supposed to be since this is my first 5speed s14. I bought the driveshaft from a non abs s14 so i dont see how there could be any length issues as mine is also non abs s14. any ideas. I wont really be able to do anything till the morning but ill take suggestions now.

If it's rubbing on only the dust cover, remove and throw away the cover. If it's rubbing on the tail shaft end of the transmission you have a problem.

Any ideas of how this problem would happen assuming im using the correct shaft? This is the best shot i could get of it tonight ill take one from underneath when i can see in the morning.

It's rubbing because you are using an S13 tranny. The S14 has a different style dust shield. Just trim that one and you are good to go.
