hey so i bought what i thought was a n/a 1987 300zx tranny with no driveshaft..because im swapping the busted borg warner with the nissan tranny....the problem im running into is the driveshaft i bought, thespline dont match up... its as if the splin is too small but not by much...any suggestions??

 

Welcome to ZDriver!

The BW T5 and Nissan transmissions have different output shafts. Use a drive shaft meant for the FS5W71C (Z31 n/a transmission).

 

you will need a 87-89 NA 2 seater driveshaft unless you want to change the differential flange.
84-86 diff flange is different than 87-89. Any 84-89 NA driveshaft will work with the proper matched diff flange.

 

Nope. He will need the 84-86 NA 2 seater driveshaft. If he had the BW, then he has an 84-86 turbo (two seater).

 

hey um well its a 87 tranny im putting in an taking out the borg warner

 

*sigh*


You have an 84-86 turbo, right? This means you have an 84-86 companion flange on the differential. Unless you want the added expense of the 87-89 companion flange, get the 84-86 NA 2 seater driveshaft.
