It looks like an AT ds. That looks nothing like my manual driveshaft when I pulled it. And that one in your picture looks more like the AT one that's listed in my fsm. Can't tell whether or not its ABS though.

You're better off getting the entire drive shaft. I've heard swapping pieces like that could result in balancing issues and a noisey drivetrain.

Be careful.

yeah..but we went to the junkyard and underneth the 240 was just the top part...(the pics up up above)...we wereing thinking bout connecting that piece with the auto rear drive shaft.

yes, that's the front portion.
you CAN mix & match front & rear pieces (rear pieces are all same except for difference between ABS/nonABS), but it's not recommended. Like old_s13 said, there WILL be balancing issues. this is due to the fact that each driveshaft is balanced individually, and in one piece (the front and rear sections bolted together)
