Stock Drive Shaft Question

[dirtlord420]

ok I'm looking for a drive shaft for my 88 jeep comanche 4.0 auto long wheelbase. the qustion is will the manual transmission drive shaft work? I'm guessing no, but doesnt hurt to ask. also if i have to have one made about how much does it cost and how long do they take? or where can i find one? i wouldnt mind a used one. need one right away

In the DIy forum there's a page that goes over the stock lengths of drivelines.  If you have to order a new one there's probably a local shop near you or you can always get one from tom woods or something similiar.   Expect to pay anywhere from 200-400 depending on what you're ordering.

the chart doesnt have the info on the 4x2 lwb. i email a guy on ebay who has a 5spd one for sale for the measurement, and i will compare it to mine.

2WD LWB w. AW4, D35, 4.0 = 60" length u-joint to u-joint.

2WD LWB w. AW4, D44, 4.0 = 59" length u-joint to u-joint.

With manual transmission =  :dunno:

I'm waiting on a reply but I'm guessing it should be the same as the manual. in the 2wd swb the length didnt change only in the axle.

 

swb,_4.0,____aw4,__________2wd,_____d44= 52.125"_d35= 53.125" *

swb,_4.0,____ax15-ba10/5,__2wd,_____d44= 52.125"_d35= 53.125" *

 

does any one know if the auto trans is the same length as the manual trans? does anyone have the factory part numbers for the drive shafts?  

 

i found two drive shafts for manual for around 100 and the auto 300. i might take a gamble and get the manual. for the price of 300 i would rather have a new one built.

 

are the splines in the output shaft the same? i wonder if i could switch them out.

[dirtlord420]

do you think they use a different part number bc the splines are different?

No, at least not the Peugot. When I swapped out the BA 10/5 for the AW4 (4x4) I had the drive shaft shortened by 1.25".  I have a D44.

I found mine again. I thought it went with a bunch of others I tossed
