Driveshaft Fitment Issue. Please help!

[gomez88accord]

Hey everyone.

I replaced my driveshafts with new ones from an 88 hatchback, manual. My car is a sedan however.

Could the sizes of the driveshafts differ from hatchback to sedan? If not, the clerk must have given me the wrong shaft becuase its about 2.5 inches too short

I would just like to confirm what exatly the problem could be.


Again, Advice greatly apprecieated.

Thanks.

no. They gave you the wrong shaft, they are the same from hatch to sedan/coupe

I believe they are the same between the only difference is wether the car is A/T or Man.
I'm not too sure though but hopefully someone on here will post up on it

Love the fast response!

The passenger shaft is the same for all years and submodels. The driver's shaft is different only between auto and manual transmissions.

Yeah, if its a driver side axle thats short they may have given you an auto axle

[gomez88accord]

yep, i'm pretty sure thats what happened because the drivers is short and the passenger is fine
