Huh? The drive shafts are different lengths too,,,, what kind of swap are you

Talkin about?

 

I recently swapped out my TT with another one.

 

The difference in length of TT is because the differential sizes are different. A larger diff is needed for a LSD so the TT is shorter. A Non LSD TT is about two inches longer than the LSD TT. The splined coupler is the same on both diffs.

 

Drive shafts should be the same between auto and manual cars.

Wrong sanchez,,,,

I have the manual transmission TT ' S in my possession....the actual outer

Tube is identical 87-89,,, the spline coupler is shorter in length and smaller around where the diff seal is,on the 87 yr...The internal shaft is identical in

Length and otherwise...

 

The auto trans Torque tube is a different length so is the driveshaft...

If you swap a 5spd into a auto the 5spd driveshaft works

yes the driveshaft works in a manual trans swap (see link),,,, but the Torque tubes are different...

A manual TT will pull the drive shaft too far out of the auto trans..

Long story short ,,, you shouldn't use a manual trans TT in an auto trans car.

quikconq,

 

I sent several PM's regarding this with no response. Ive been waiting 2 weeks for these parts (6 bolt conversion parts) and (torque tube) I ordered and Id like to know what is going on with them. At last tracking info or something so I can stop worrying.

 

Thank you

-Jarek
