Sup dudes.. so I got a little problem... Ive been working on my e30 for a few weeks now, and just ran into a problem...
I got the car as an auto, so ive been trying to do the 5 speed swap. Today, I tried to install the driveshaft, and I find out that its about 4 inches too long. The original driveshaft, off the auto, is 4 inches too short. So, what do I do? What did I do wrong?
I know I have the small flange driveshaft because anything more than 3 inches(see picture #1) from one bolt to another would not be considered a small flange.
In picture #2, I'm trying to show you guys that the driveshaft doesn't want to fit in. I really do not know what to do with this. Has anyone else had this problem before??
The whole driveshaft is sitting as far back into the rear diff as possible. I have no idea how to create more room in order to make this fit..
