Can a Gen 4 Aluminum Driveshaft be used on a Gen 3 T-5? Is the yoke different? Length different? The U-Joint has the same part number for both Gen 3 & 4 so if the yoke is different, can the yoke from the Gen 3 be installed on the Gen 4 driveshaft? Talking with Lingenfelter, they sell an aluminum driveshaft for a 1990-2002 Camaro. They claim there is a difference before 1990, although unfortunately the person did not know off hand what that difference was. Knowledgeable insight would be appreciated.

 

The shafts are 3/4 " or so shorter but for justfine

 

I don't see why it wouldn't work it's a 26 spline output shaft and I believe it's the same length. I had a stock 4th gen DS in my car for a little bit tell my first launch at the track shredded it to pieces. They are known to be kind of weak as I found out later... Make sure you get something aftermarket.

 

The swap has been done many, many times. Should you require more info, the search function will be helpful.

Best of luck,

I have been running an aluminum drive shaft in my '92 that I pulled from a 4th gen. Five years so far and no problems.
