i am in nearly done with all the parts i need for my 5 speed swap when i started questioning my driveshaft.
im not sure its the right one.
convertibles are open diff no abs. .
what kind of drive shaft is that?
the one that i have is a 6 bolt.

I would like to know if that is indeed the one i need, or if i need a different one

Any 5speed non abs driveshaft will work.

If your driveshaft is a 6bolt, you're fucked. The driveshaft is a 4bolt. The axles are 6bolt, which you don't need. If you have an ABS shaft you'll have another 1/2"-3/4" sticking out of the tail end of the transmission.
