im not positive but it should be a direct bolt in. i know my the LT1 to LS1 swap on mine was.

hmm...it just so happens i have my stock LS1 aluminum 1 piece driveshaft chill'n in my garage that im not using anymore...im pretty sure it's a direct bolt in...i believe it's 44.5 inchs from the seal to center of rear u joint

i don't know how many spline it is, but i'll check later, im pretty much positive it bolts right in though! Make me an offer and i can ship it out to ya! it's only got about 40K miles on it

[ROUDA]

Yes For Sure I Would Buy It Off You. I Live In Pittsburgh And Will Pay For Shipping How Much You Think You Want For It.

I did the same to my 94 V6, and it was really simple. I don't think Matt's LS1 shaft will be a direct bolt in, you'll probably have to change the front yoke, but other than that, it's the same length, I beleive. Is yours going bad or what? I only did mine because the carrier bearing went out on it, and you have to replace the whole driveshaft when that happens. I can walk you through it step-by-step if you want, it's a pretty simple task. I had to change the yoke, which requires 2 new U-Joints, and that took most of my time. Let me know! I just got mine from EBay for like $150 shipped.

i know the automatics are direct bolt in does the t56 have a different spline on it? i think they are all the same i can even toss a one on my 3rd gen if its the same spline

yea i think the T5s are different than the 4L60Es

I have a n automatic

[wezeles]

well at worst you just have to change out the yoke and bearings and everything which you shoudl do anyways if your going to a used driveshaft... still not hard to do... the onyl reason to have a 2 piece drive shaft is if its like 10 feet long or more... they are a PITA you would be better off even with a steel one than that 2 piece

[ROUDA]

theres no reason for doing it just want to. and then I will get a rear end with disc brakes. If I could do it all at once I will. just need to find a good rear end to.

[wezeles]

the one piece is way more reliable and stronger... no matter what engine you have its a better drive shaft... im going out the the local junkyard here tomorrow they have 2 93-97 z28's want me to check if they got the rear ends in them still? they have been sitting a while and not really picked at much besides the motor and trans im sure he will give a good deal on it

[phoenix_rising]

Hey dave check for an aluminum driveshaft for me while your at it! Or check the T/A when you pick up those parts and see it it had one. Thanks!

[93formulalt1]

Oh yeah, see if you can get me a rear end. . . I'm looking for something that can handle the amount of power my car is going to be making after I do a little more work. . . Next up is 3400 heads and intake . . . Buddy of mine is going to try and get them for me, and I'm gonna throw in some new pistons. Hopefully this winter, if everything goes as planned. . . I can't wait. . .

[ROUDA]

yeah, see what the motors and trans are going for and how many miles is on it.

the alum. driveshafts and steel driveshafts are all direct replacements for all 4th gen cars and the trans doesn't matter. I swapped my two piece out for an alum one a while ago now.
