Yes, you can use auto driveshaft with the manual 'box as long as you keep the LWB shafts with the LWB cars (utes, wagons and fairlanes) and the SWB shafts with the SWB cars (Falcon Sedans).

Remember some of them had a big balancer and some didn't... They could be different lengths by a few mm.
And yes, I too have had the same driveshaft behind the auto, did T5 conversion and kept same driveshaft. Until the gearbox blew. Replaced gearbox and drove car about 10km (half way home and then straight back to workshop with pit) as realised that driving the old gearbox with no rear bearings at around 200km/h had bent the driveshaft. Replaced driveshaft - And yes, it was another long wheelbase alloy one. And yes, it did fit too (funny that). And then discovered that the bent driveshaft had ruined the seal at the pinion of the converted sedan diff in the wagon. So now that has been changed too. Currently changing the pinion angle a little to compensate for lowering again. To cut a long and very interesting story off short of its climax, do not drive crappy blown up T5 with only three gears at anything over 90kmh. The damage just goes on and on and on..... |
