E36 328i manual driveshaft BIG flange ASAP

[Afredo]

Hello, in dire need of a driveshaft (with large guibo flange, whole driveshaft not just the flange) that will fit a ZF 5speed for my e30 m50tu swap. If anyone has one please reply or pm me ASAP. On a very limited budget so please no outlandish prices. Would need shipped to 12203 unless local enough to meet.

Just a heads up, you can use an e30m3, most e36m3/328 shafts (4 bolt rear flange), or use one from a late e30 eta.

If you watch fleabay, the pop up and sell for ~200-250-ish.

Unfortunately I don't think that's correct, if I could've used one of the driveshafts you mentioned I'd have finished the build a long time ago :-/ I have a ZF 5-speed in the car which has the large guibo flange, which only 328i and M3 transmissions came with. But you can't use a non-e30 M3 driveshaft in an e30 as it doesn't have the same CSB setup I believe, so literally the only option that will work is the driveshaft from an e36 328i, or if I can find someone selling just the transmission output flange off a getrag as I could use that with the e30 driveshaft I have since its a small guibo. I just had a guy on here send me an e46 328i driveshaft and its about 4 inches too long, so it has to be one from an e36.

I just had this issue. I got the revshift. 24v drive shaft adapter guibo and problem solved. Only downside is its $130

I went that route already, caused a horrendous Driveline vibration we couldn't get rid of, sent it back.

I have personally installed many e36 driveshafts in e30's. The length is very close (a few mm that the splines take up), and bolts right in if you install an e30 CSB backwards (correct in relation to car).

Also had bad luck with the swap giubos.

everything john said is correct, and another cheaper option would be the Garage30 adapter which still uses a factory rubber flex disc.

Couldn't find one, sold out and none for sale used.
