t-5 swap driveshaft needed
I have an 82 TA that I am swaping a t-5 into and I need a driveshaft. one in Michigan would be nice, and one close to Midland or Lapeer would be awsome. Not sure what the length I need is but the stock shaft from the 4-speed man. is too long.
thanks

You could have your current drive shaft shortend. I just did this switching from a th350 to a T-5. Cost me $45 to shorten it 3 inches. Look in the phone book for truck shops that do spring and drive work. If thats not an option, I have a stock drive shaft from an '87 F-body, should be the right length for what your doing. $20 + shipping.

I did the same swap on my 82 trans am, I used a driveshaft from a 700r4 car worked perfect
